No todo son malas noticias para General Motors, su modelo más icónico acaba de llegar a millón y medio de unidades a lo largo de casi 60 años.
Chevrolet builds 1,500,000th Corvette
Corvette has been going on for about 60 years. Recently the sports car icon produced the 1,500,000th Corvette at GM Bowling Green assembly plant. The announcement of this incredible milestone was made by Karen Rafferty, Chevrolet Product Marketing Director.
"The 1.5 millionth Corvette is a great example of how Chevy is America's brand" Rafferty said at a meeting of the Greater Atlanta Automotive Media Association. "For nearly 60 years we have built America's Sports Car and this milestone is a solid proof point."
The car in question is a white Convertible 3LT that has a red interior and a black top. Incidentally the first, 500,000th and 1 millionth Corvettes built in 1953, 1977 and 1992 respectively had similar features.
Rafferty went on to wax lyrical about the Grand Sport, noting that it has a 0 - 60mph sprint time of less than 4 seconds, and pulls 1.0g on a skid pad. The highway fuel consumption is claimed at 26mpg.

He sido uno de los más dedicados fanáticos de Corvette en Guatemala desde que Dios me regaló mi primer carro en 1969 el cual fué por supuesto un Corvette 1958, que es el de la foto de mi identificación en el foro, el cual vendí cuatro dias antes del terremoto de 1976.
