Corvette to become a chick car?

GM names its first female CEO

"Mary Barra led the development of such critically acclaimed models as the seventh-generation Corvette, GM's new truck lineup, two new rear-wheel-drive Cadillac sedans and the 2014 Impala."

Butt shot. My apologies to the sisters on the forum, it's a midlife crisis thing.

Kind of a stretch to say she lead development of the new Vette, cause she didn't, but she's a good choice for CEO. Best one that GM has had since the bankruptcy. Which is damning with faint praise, I realize.

Say what???? The Vette is one of the most serious performance cars in the world. You can even get a manual transmission, which no Ferrari or Lamborghini offers.

A chick car? No way.

What you smoking in that cigar of yours?
