Who stole the auto show? Who should’ve stayed home?
Here’s my list of hits and misses. Drop me a line with your nominees for highs, lows and what-were-they thinking? The show continues through Sunday night.
HIT – CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY:
The 2013 North American International Auto Show will be remembered for the Corvette Stingray. A body that’s simultaneously efficient, lightweight and beautiful is just the start. The C7 seventh-generation Corvette goes faster on less fuel than its predecessor, adds the latest technology, and fits the great
American sports car into a globally relevant footprint about the size of a Porsche 911. The Corvette also provides my favorite detail at the show: The elegant chrome stingray badges on the front fenders feature little depressions where a real ray’s gills would be.
