The Corvette is more than just a legend; it is the definition of the American sports car. No other North American built and designed car has the same clout, history or desirability factor.
As the car's 60th anniversary approaches, we did a quick survey of the team to get their favorite Vettes of the last six decades. We had a tough time overall as the person's age played a factor in selecting the cars that marked our psyches over the years.
As we built the list, a number of prototypes came up and so we decided to list those out as well.
Set to hit the market later this year, the 2013 GMC Terrain will offer a new 3.6L V6 engine that generates 301 horsepower and allows 0-100km/h accelerations in 6.7 seconds, making it the fastest and most powerful Terrain yet.
Fuel consumption ratings are similar to the outgoing model's - 12.4/8.1 L/100km in FWD configuration and 13.2/8.4 L/100km in AWD configuration. Meanwhile, towing capacity for the V6-powered Terrain is rated at 3,500 pounds.
''This new 2013 Terrain engine delivers the uncompromised performance our customers desire,'' said Tony DiSalle, vice president of GMC Marketing. ''It's the most powerful V6 the brand has ever produced, and our engineers deserve credit for achieving that without sacrificing fuel economy.''
The new V6 will be available as a standalone option of $1,725 on SLE-2, SLT-1, and SLT-2 models. It will require a premium of $2,025 with the top-of-the-line Terrain Denali, which also includes upgraded 19'' chrome-clad wheels.

"Give this car a nice automatic or a DSG," suggested senior online editor Phil Floraday at the start of our Mini's penultimate month in our hands, "and it might be enough to get me to look past the car's styling and its weird interior." Your wish, Mr. Floraday, is granted -- at least in the sense that an automatic-equipped Mini Countryman arrived in the office just days later. Is the automatic the solution to the problem of the undersized clutch and the 1.6-liter's turbo lag, which combine to make driving around town "a real pain in the a**," to quote Phil once again?
General Motors India is to add the Chevrolet Sail, Enjoy and an updated Spark to its locally-built range by year-end, killing off the outdated Aveo, U-VA and Optra models at the same time.
The standard, 138-hp Hyundai Veloster overpromises and underdelivers. Its tame, unexceptional dynamics contrast with the wild styling and the curious three-door package. Yet even as we abandoned our hope for a Korean revelation during our first drive of that car last October, we remained optimistic that Hyundai would take a mulligan with the upcoming turbocharged model.
