Re: Toyota the best home for Corvette?
If there is a chapter 7 liquidation of GM, I think you might see Chevrolet being bought as a whole, including Corvette. Perhaps another auto company, perhaps a group of investors.
Chevrolet is GM's most valuable property. Huge name recognition, loyal customers. I think it would be a very desirable acquisition. There's always going to be a need for trucks and family cars, and having a halo like the Corvette doesn't hurt. After chapter 7, it might be free to operate without the UAW.
The same would probably happen to Cadillac and it could operate as a division of an existing company or standalone. It may not be big enough to operate by itself though. Chevy could survive as an independent company.
GM's other brand names would probably be sold off to bidders, but if you ever see cars bearing those names again, they'd likely have little in common with the current-day models.
