In 1965 popular television was full of secret agents, guys wearing cowboy hats and friendly witches—so it makes sense that is who Chevrolet chose to introduce their new cars that year. More »

For almost as long as there have been cars, there have been emblems to identify who made them and what model they are. Some of these emblems are as cool and classic as the cars they identify while others are little more than plastic text with a sticker on the back. This weekend we want to know what vehicle you think wore it's model name best. What car has the coolest model emblems? More »

In Springfield's defense, people suck at towing Corvettes. More »

In May, GM filed a trademark application for the word "STINGRAY" with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for use on "Motor land vehicles, namely, automobiles." Is Chevy transforming the Corvette into a real split-window Stingray for the seventh generation? More »

This Corvette Stingray Concept Replica on eBay makes every horrible thing Michael Bay did with the car's Transformers character "Sideswipe" seem thought out and reasonable. It's so bad, other Corvettes look away. Unbelievably, bidding's currently up to $38,000. More »

Or, more appropriately, the noses of two Corvettes, both alike in dignity in fair Kenosha where we set our scene. I chose the 'Vette less traveled. /mixedallusions. (Photo Credit: Mike Mertz) More »

The mysterious Corvette Stingray speedster was recently caught on the set of Transformers 3. The car appears to be the evolution of the character Sideswipe. Sorry folks, no swoopy new Corvette just yet. More »

A mysterious Corvette Stingray Concept speedster (actually, a C6 'Vette with a bodykit) was spotted in Beverly Hills, California, and nobody seems to know where it came from. More »

If your name's Irwin, you might want to steer clear of today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Corvette. For everybody else, this well preserved throwback to the ‘70s offers vintage t-topping, but will the price make you feel its sting? More »

No? How about the drawing that Bill Mitchell filed for the '63 Corvette? One of Henry Seagrave's land-speed record cars? Maybe you'd prefer a Weddell car-boat thing? We're ordering prints now. Why aren't you? [Vintagraph] More »

Yesterday, we noted the extensive use of carbon fiber in the Corvette Stingray concept. Cool, yes, but advanced composite materials have long been a Corvette tradition. How long? Check out this photo of the C1 'vette's fiberglass composite body. More »

Yesterday we had the exclusive opportunity to drive the Corvette Stingray concept, GM's latest Transformers star. With a conceptual hybrid powertrain and iPhone app-like downloads, it represents a merger of GM design and technology from the past, present and future. More »

It's virtually impossible to question the engineering supremacy of the modern C6 Corvette in the pantheon of 'Vette history, but many pine for the dashing style of the '63-'67 C2 Corvette. Enter the n2a Stinger. More »

To say the 1963 Corvette Stingray Splitwindow coupe is desirable would be a staggering understatement, but Google Streetview has spotted one abandoned and rotting away beneath a tree in Spokane, Washington. More »

We've always liked the generation-straddling '61 and '62 Corvettes. They manage to strike a handsome balance between C1 flavor and C2 daring; no small feat considering a 'half-car refresh' would normally strike terror in heart of even the hardest auto enthusiast. Such opinions weigh heavily upon this split-window C1 Corvette being prepared for SEMA by the folks at Street Rods Only, a hot rod shop out of Decatur, IL. It seems they're taking a split-window fastback hard top they offer for sale and grafting it directly onto a replica 1961 Corvette, then dropped it all on a frame occupied by an LS crate motor. We are thus torn. More »

Suzuki has launched a new Wagon R for the Japanese domestic market: the Wagon R Stingray. Built on a new platform that increases the wheelbase for enhanced stability, the Stingray retains the same 660cc turbocharged engine in order to comply with Kei-class regulations. The Wagon R has historically been the best-selling vehicle in that class, so now with more stability and a claimed decrease in interior noise levels, its sales should be boosted even further. The biggest change looks to be the aggressive new styling, which adapts a Scion xB-style front clip and impossibly huge air dam. More »

The "what the hell is that?" field surrounding the Mitsuoka Viewt gave the Nisan March-based machine the edge over the Clenet II in yesterday's 392 Hemi Swap Edition PCH poll. Today seemed like a good day for a Choose Your Eternity matchup with a theme based on a song, since it's been over a month since the Tom Waits Edition PCH. So how about that endlessly-replayed Jan & Dean favorite from 1964, Dead Man's Curve? More »

Earlier this year, Motor Trend reported on a new V6-powered Corvette it dubbed the Sting Ray, which was reportedly in deep cover. Powered by a version of the Impala's 3.9-liter V6, the Kappa-platform roadster in development was reported to be Chevy's own version of the Saturn Sky / Pontiac Solstice. Now, dealer Rick "Corvette" Conti says the V6 'Vette is closer than we think, but won't be named "Sting Ray." More »

Motor Trend's the latest buff book to chime in on Chevrolet's upcoming Viper-beater Corvette. (You'll recall that car was dubbed "Blue Devil" for an early prototype spied on the N rburgring, which happened to be blue.) According to the magazine, the new super 'Vette will indeed have a supercharged version of the 7.0-liter LS7 V8, but will be dubbed Stingray (one word), and according to their illustration, will get Super Sport badging. A liberal use of carbon fiber will reportedly bring weight down to 2900 lbs — 232 lbs less than the Z06. MT says we'll see the launch in mid-2007. More »
