The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 will make its global debut this weekend. Not in the U.S., however, but at the 2017 Dubai Motor Show. Our insiders tell us that the weather is currently hot and humid there—good times.

Sometimes it is an honor to just be picked, and this is always the case when a major publication decides a car is worthy of reviewing. This time it was Motor Trend in their yearly Best Driver’s Car competition.
You must feel sorry (not really) for the magazine, as picking and ranking cars is a no-win situation. People always say why didn’t they pick my car, how is that car better than this car, why is my car the only manual transmission car, or sure my car is not ranked higher than a car that costs 3 time as much, how is that fair!
