TTAC Wants GM to Kill the Corvette

I read (ok skimmed) Robert Farago’s editorial and don’t get it. Is he just pissed that the Vette can spank his precious Boxster? Farago says, “the Corvette is a brand anomaly; it’s as much a Chevy as a Cayenne is a Porsche, only less so.” But when I talked to Chevy’s Ed Peper in Detroit, Peper said he thought that the Corvette was the strongest brand that Chevy had, with the possible exception of the Silverado. Chevy has no immediate plans to start working on a C7, but I don’t think they are losing any money on Vette right now, and I honestly don’t think it’s causing them to lose focus. So why kill it? I probably only go over to TTAC once per week out of some weird morbid fascination, but maybe I should just stop reading it altogether…
