Courtesy of Stingray Forums and Jalopnik, we have our first look at the Corvette Z06 Convertible – an automatic one to boot.
The Z06 convertible is the next logical step beyond the C6 427 convertible – but does that mean that the equity built up around the Z06 nameplate is tarnished? In the eyes of some people, it will be. But as far as the bottom line goes, Chevrolet is going to sell these – with two pedals, not three – in sufficient quantities to justify their R&D costs. And no amount of protest can change the realities of market demand.

- ToolGuy The only way this makes sense to me (still looking) is if it is tied to the realization that they have a capital issue (cash crunch) which is getting in the way of their plans.
- Jeff I do think this is a good thing. Teaching salespeople how to interact with the customer and teaching them some of the features and technical stuff of the vehicles is important.
- MKizzy If Tesla stops maintaining and expanding the Superchargers at current levels, imagine the chaos as more EV owners with high expectations visit crowded and no longer reliable Superchargers.It feels like at this point, Musk is nearly bored enough with Tesla and EVs in general to literally take his ball and going home.
- Incog99 I bought a brand new 4 on the floor 240SX coupe in 1989 in pearl green. I drove it almost 200k miles, put in a killer sound system and never wish I sold it. I graduated to an Infiniti Q45 next and that tank was amazing.
- CanadaCraig As an aside... you are so incredibly vulnerable as you're sitting there WAITING for you EV to charge. It freaks me out.

I saw one of the new Corvettes in just that color blue today. And I have to say, it is the first Corvette since the Split Window Coupes that I think is HOT! It really looked great. Hopefully my Corvette nut uncle will buy one so I can play with it a bit. The guy is a retired Air Force pilot who is into Beetles and Corvettes - go figure.
Corvette should be good-lookig! ..weak-point of this new car is it's 'messy' design .. C5 was handsome, 'clean-designed' car , C6('ferrari inspired':) not so much , and here's the same story with C7 .. (Camaro[even a littlebit overwritten] looks 'purpouseful'(muscular) and cool), so why they wasted opportunity for this new generation (especialy that it drives very well..)
