I will say what I said earlier regarding this: It obviously wasn't World Rally Blue enough to go off-road.

I thought they had a bunch of them they have at least 3 red ones and one gray one. they had 2 red ones at different auto shows and auctions the day it was first shown to the public. Including the one at Barret Jackson no way they moved it from Detroit to Phoenix in only a few hours.

*Only two have been sold to the general public

Click photo for news article.

and a rather amusing AutoWeek News with it, including the new smart and the Benz hot hatch here.

There have been a Red, Yellow, Blue, and Black one spotted in the wild. Plus the Red show circuit car, the grey show circuit car, possibly another red show circuit car that they've been using at media appearances (Barrett Jackson and the Superbowl)

UPDATE: According to Chevy spokesman Monte Doran, this was a GM test drive gone wrong: "During evaluation, the driver caught the inside tire caught the edge of the pavement during a tight corner, leading to the accident. Thankfully, no one was hurt, the car received only minor damage, and no citations were issued."

Corvette-Based AeroWagon Concept

A Callaway representative told us that the AeroWagon would have an opening rear hatch and more cargo room than a standard 2014 Corvette. All the additional bodywork is made from carbon-fiber and would be constructed at Callaway’s carbon-fiber facility in Santa Ana, California. The body was penned by company designer Paul Deutschman. - Motor Trend

Me - yeah... I kind of dig it.
