SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 2004--The hot new styling on an old classic is proving popular with consumers as the Chevrolet C6 Corvette was selected Best New Design at the 2004 North American International Auto Show being held in Detroit this week.

More than 2,300 consumers voted in five different categories including Best Concept Car, Best Car to Impress a Date, Best New Design (Production Only), Best Family Car, and Best Looking Hybrid Car.
