Looks like General Motors is on it's way to making a full fledged Stingray (hopefully a split windowed version) for the seventh generation corvette. The recently trademarked the name "Stingray" has been titled for use on "Motor land vehicles, namely automobiles"



Only time will tell!

I was gonna say, all the stingray fish would be pretty pissed if they had to pay GM trademark royalties.

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Not my favorite "look" and feel for a car like that, but I'd drive one if they gave me one or I had the money to blow.

The exhaust on that concept reminds of a tennis ball launcher.  [cheeky]

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I don't know that I would put too much stock into this.

Companies do stuff like that all the time.  Trademark 3 or 4 names to "protect them", and then only end up using one or none of them.

There is a metric shit-ton of speculation on what the next 'Vette will look like.  Time will tell.

Hell, look at all the names we own but only built one dmf.   It drives like a tank too actually.

I had a 60's era Stingray and was the first owner.  It had a banana seat, a sissy bar, and a Hurst style shifter for the 3 Speed gear set.
