General Motors's newest Corvette promises to underscore the automaker's engineering prowess in a world that cares less and less about speed and horsepower.
For years rumors circulated that General Motors Co. was developing a mid-engine Corvette that would compete nose-to-nose with European exotics like Ferrari and the Ford GT built by its crosstown rival. The rumors turned out to be true.
Yet in a world where carbon dioxide increasingly is regarded a pollutant, the latest version of GM’s legendary two-seater might be the last one that runs on gasoline. After all, GM has announced a goal of zero emissions, zero accidents, zero congestion. It’s too soon to know whether GM planners and engineers are thinking seriously about a high-end battery-powered challenger for Tesla and Audi. For the moment, the team is focused on exulting in its latest achievement.
“Corvette has again delivered an incredible bang for your performance buck. That’s its key trademark, and GM didn’t lose it with the switch to a mid-engine design. Some of the styling elements, both inside and out, may or may not work for everyone. But in terms of American performance at a great price , this new car nails it,” said Karl Brauer, executive editor of Kelley Blue Book.

Netflix Defends ‘Queer Eye’ Episode Where The Fab Five Forced To Euthanize Completely Hopeless SlobLOS GATOS, CA—Insisting that the controversial episode served as a stirring reminder of the importance of self-improvement, Netflix representative Tina Komal spoke in defense of a recent episode of ‘Queer Eye’ wherein the the Fab Five were forced to euthanize a contestant who was a completely hopeless slob. “We certainly wish that this contestant had been capable of enacting the simple tips suggested by our team of lifestyle experts, but unfortunately, euthanization was ultimately deemed the only practical option for improving his life,” said Komal in a stirring defense of the episode where, after futilely encouraging the unemployed Tim Yonkers to try on a variety of tailored button-up shirts and walking him through a fresh mango salsa recipe to shake up his carb-heavy diet, the Fab Five solemnly led Yonkers out to his re-landscaped backyard to be mercy-killed with a single gunshot to the head by grooming guru Jonathan Van Ness. “Though the episode may be upsetting to some of our viewers, we must also remember the countless viewers who have been deeply touched by Yonkers’ story and the team’s tireless efforts to help him—which happened to include a little tough love.” Komal went on to add that, at the conclusion of the episode, Yonkers’s friends and family had been delighted by the changes he’d undergone.
