General Motors may be getting ready to launch a new sub-brand based on the Corvette.
According to a report from business news outlet Bloomberg, sources inside the company have confirmed General Motors plans to build a number of Corvette-inspired models – known internally as Project R or Brand R – and kicking it off with an all-electric SUV.
The electric Corvette SUV is a similar strategy employed by Ford, with the Mustang Mach-E SUV taking design cues from its sports car namesake, and offering a sportier driving experience powered by an electric powertrain.

SPOKANE, Wash. It’s a long 10 months for business owners trying to get through the pandemic.
At David’s Pizza, the owner says they’re happy to have people back inside under Governor Inslee’s new guidelines.
“It feels like a bitter reprieve. It’s a chance that you could actually take a breath,” said owner Mark Starr.
Six years ago, when Starr opened up the location on Mallon Avenue, he decided to put the big windows and doors in to open up for certain times of the year.
“We run a sort of a cabana style, certain months out of the year it’s really, it’s a lot of fun,” he said.

Fiat Chrysler (NYSE: FCAU) is extending its Jeep Grand Cherokee to include a new three-row model with hopes of increasing the vehicle’s appeal within the SUV market.
The Grand Cherokee L is the fifth generation SUV since its launch 30 years ago. The new model has been in the works for over a decade.
“There is high-demand in a Grand Cherokee three-row. We know we are going to do extremely well,” Christian Meunier, Jeep’s global president, said during a media briefing. “We are going to improve our leadership a lot.”
The company anticipates the new version will be one of the best received Grand Cherokees since the 1992 Detroit Auto Show when Chrysler President Bob Lutz drove one up the steps and through glass with Mayor Coleman Young.
