Still thinking about a CT5 Blackwing when it’s time to give up the Vette.
Same with me Mike regarding the CT5 Blackwing when it’s time to give up my Camaro ZL1.
Those are nasty colors
Yup, Crayola green and grandma’s suitcase blue.

Is also standard for 2026.
3,2,1…dropping both for poor sales as with Impala, Malibu, Camaro, but will have two more EV’s overpriced as usual that few customers want to replace them.
At that point Ms Mary should disappear…she has damaged the company WAY TOO MUCH.
