We recently welcomed the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray into our test fleet, and we share our first impressions on its driving dynamics, styling, and interior drawbacks. Also, with Corvette always giving buyers more performance per dollar than other\\xa0automakers, we compare how this first ever mid-engine Corvette compares to other, more exotic sports cars,\\xa0like Ferraris and Lamborghinis. We also discuss whether\\xa0Rivian\'s new Adventure charging network will accommodate\\xa0other manufacturer\'s EVs, or be proprietary like Tesla Superchargers. Other topics include: which SUV is best suited for an adventurous\\xa0family; is it wise to replace original larger wheels on a vehicle with a smaller size; and if a Smart car is capable of towing.
