But GM still has a history of protecting the Corvette name. Hell, the GNX from the 80s was rated at lower HP than a Corvette from the same year, even though it was a well known fact that the GNX was sandbagging its HP numbers to keep the "status quo". It's a shame that GM is more concerned with its shareholders these days and not its customers, as I'd love to see more GNX, GTOs and other specialty vehicles produced. Granted, that seems to be the case for a lot of companies these days. I always kept hoping that GM was going to let Buick create a newer version of the GNX as a way of justifying keeping Buick around.
