Business Insider’s First-Ever Car Of The Year Is The Corvette Stingray
by Matthew DeBord
Business Insider Singapore
The first annual Business Insider Car of the Year is the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
Feel free to applaud — and applaud some more! Ben Zhang and I debated the choice long and hard, and I demanded that he make the patriotic case for the Corvette at least a dozen times.
Jaguars and Ferraris were swatted aside. Big, luxurious SUVs fell by the wayside. Even the Very Important Tesla Model S P85D, the fastest sedan in the world, couldn’t beat out America’s sports car.
In the end, we both just loved the new Vette.
The bottom line is that we wanted our first-ever Car of the Year to be an amazing machine when it comes to the nuts-and-bolts part of the story. It had to look cool and be a blast to drive. And because Business Insider is, after all, a business publication, we decided that the COTY should be significant for the auto industry — it couldn’t be a niche product that appeals only to enthusiasts with millions to spend on exotic hypercars.
But there’s another factor that we considered.
