Chevrolet Corvette
There's more praise than criticism for the latest generation of the Chevrolet Corvette. Everyone loves the revised silhouette, while the previously vilified passenger cabin is earning its fair share of praise. But the compliments aren't limited to the presentation alone: its handling and surprising docility (despite its thunderous 6.2L V8 that produces 455 horsepower in the naturally-aspirated engine and 650 horsepower in the Z06 version) are being lauded as well.
