Chevy SXSW: What Would You Drive?

One of our main activations here at SXSW is Drive a Chevy, which allows anyone and everyone to test out their dream Chevys. We’ve got Corvettes, Camaros, Volts and Cruzes, at the ready for your enjoyment. So the question is—which would you drive?

Would it be the all-new electric Volt? That’s what Cheryl Massey chose, at least. “I’ve been hearing about this car for a few months now, and dying to know what it’s actually like in reality. It’s even better than I expected—smooth ride, lots of pick-up.”

Of course, there’s really no reason to pick just one. Just ask Mark Smith, who took a joyride in both the Corvette and the Camaro this morning. According to Mark, you simply can’t drive just one—“You’ve gotta compare the two!”

So what’d he think?  “The Camaro’s awesome—a ton of power. And that red Corvette… it’s perfect.” But at the end of the day, he just couldn’t choose between the two powerhouse cars. “I guess I’ll just have to get them both, and flip a coin each morning to decide which one to drive. Every day would be a win!”

Two all-American sports cars, ready and waiting in driveway every day? Now that sounds like the American dream.
