I saw the recent news about Chevrolets and their reliability. I personally would check out web sites like edmunds.com and others before I made a choice of a car like the Corvette.
Thanks. I need to look more I guess. I need a new car this year.
No less than 5 of my friends have a Corvette. I can’t say more than two of them are happy with it…
