An RHD Vette ex-factory. And they said it would never happen.
QuoteThe second in charge of General Motors, Tim Lee, who is the head of the company's international operations, hit out at reports of a right-hand-drive Corvette for Australia, exclusively revealed by News Limited yesterday.
He told reporters at the Detroit motor show overnight: "I have no idea what [General Motors CEO Dan Akerson] said but we have no plan to put a right-hand-drive under that bonnet. The Corvette is a Chevrolet, it's not a Holden, it never will be, next question."
When pressed again on how two of his senior colleagues could get such key facts wrong during a media presentation, he said during the roundtable interview: "We can spend the entire 20 minutes talking about this. This is a non-story from my point of view. You can write what you want to write, I really don't give a sh#t. But it is not in the mainstream plan."
Lee repeated his earlier comments: "Currently there is no engineering execution, there is no plan. If the CEO said tomorrow that he wants us to do that [a right-hand-drive Corvette] it would take us years. Don't go back and sell that story."
