Why not build a 4-door Corvette?
It can be done; just ask Porsche and Aston Martin

Lutz is interested
Porsche isn't alone out there. Let's not forget about one of the stars of the 2006 Detroit auto show. The international and national press tossed truckloads of accolades at the four-door Aston Martin Rapide sedan, basically a stretched DB9. That beautiful car arrives next year.
Also, the four-door Maserati Quattroporte sedan is one hot ride that's available today.
In case you've forgotten, each of those brands started with a reputation for stylish two-seaters but had the courage to expand as the world changed.
I'm not the only one who believes expanding the Corvette line makes a lot of sense. General Motors Vice Chairman Bob Lutz told me that he has had the same notion.
Today, Lutz said, "Porsche is more than a car; it's a brand with coupes, convertibles, crossovers and, in the near future, a four-door sedan.
"You could do the same thing with Corvette."
