I'm told from first hand accounts (yesterday by 6 swiss people) that there were close to 1000 corvettes/camaros/novas etc. during this celebration. Just in Switzerland, a tiny country.
One highlight will be a procession of 1,000 Chevrolets in June, and in November a statue of its famous maker will be unveiled.
“Tourist offices tell us that many people come to La Chaux-de-Fonds to have their photographs taken next to his house or his effigy. Unfortunately the house no longer exists and tourists are disappointed. But soon there will be the statue,” Laurent Kurth, mayor of La Chaux-de-Fonds, told swissinfo.ch.
La Chaux-de-Fonds is proud of its star. “[He was] reckless, resourceful and was a hard worker, like the people from around here,” said André Rochat, president of the organising committee of the centenary celebrations.
Never mind that Chevrolet only lived in the town for a few weeks, before his family moved to Bonfol, a small village in the Jura region of Switzerland, where he spent his childhood.
Then he left for the town of Beaune in Burgundy in France, where his father opened a watchmaker’s shop. But for La Chaux-de-Fonds, Chevrolet remains a local hero.

I'm a little girl, so be it, but little girl who knows the difference between handling and outright grip. You don't, you're obviously a huge strong man but also a bit of a twat.

In fact I'm big and strong  I have all my teeth too and I don't hate Porsche or other Europeans cars I love them , there is no difference between handling and outright grip when a car outperforms the other braking, accelerating and cornering but it cost a lot less

It's not part of the European Union; however, last time I checked, it is a European country on the European subcontinental plate. I may have outdated material. The last time I had checked, continental plates don't quickly change their minds.
You can keep your superb handling mkI - mkV and beyond Golf gti. lol

Or, you could insert any other cheap euro bucket of bolts that was praised for being the 'best handling car' blah blah.
I'll stick with my high limit metrics in adhesion tests; and dial it in from there to my own tastes
