The Corvette in a high-mileage future
Regarding the challenge facing the Corvette in maintaining high performance and low price, while dealing with increasing fuel economy requirements, the author states:
          "It won't be easy because the Corvette is already a closet fuel-efficiency freak. A high-performance sports car that puts out 430 horsepower from a 6.2 liter V8 engine, the 'Vette's estimated highway fuel economy of 26 mpg is actually better than some 4-cylinder sports cars including the Pontiac Solstice and Honda S2000."

A History of Scholarship on American Automobile Design
This will take you to the best article that I have ever read regarding the design or "styling" of automobiles. The Corvette is a "cult" status automobile with a following that exhibits almost religious zeal in enthusiasm. Where did this design/styling come from? Is it pop-art, high-art, or what? This is a "must read" for the Corvette affectionado.
