Not smart IMO. Corvette is a flagship sports car bordering supercar performance depending on trim. Slapping that name on some 4 door/SUV accomplishes nothing. ---

It was dumb when Ford did and it’s even more dumb doing it with the Corvette name.

It was incredibly quiet and smooth. This is the second E vehicle I’ve been in, Tesla was the first, also super smooth and quiet because no transmission IIRC. Mach E definitely hauled ass off the line. Besides that interior was fine. Big screen in the middle, some cool modes/functions. Not worth 60 grand IMO though. ---

Driven it and it is a ball. Something about being way up in the air and hearing the 35s chatter but then launching like a roller coaster. Would I buy one, probably not. Doesn’t fit anywhere (starting with my garage) among other reasons. Should have a chance to drive this soon. > **[Cadillac Lyriq spy photos seem to show high-output AWD model](https://www.autoblog.com/2022/12/05/cadillac-lyriq-500-hp-awd-sport-spy-photos/)** > > Cadillac Lyriq electric SUV caught in spy photos with more aggressive body work.
