Cars That Were Supposed To Be “The Next Corvette”—But They Never Took The Crown

For more than 70 years, car companies have been announcing, hinting at, or quietly developing the machine that would finally knock the Corvette off America’s sports-car throne. Some came surprisingly close. Others had gullwing doors, enormous promises, and roughly enough funding to survive until Thursday. The Corvette, meanwhile, just kept showing up for work.

AI-generated image of a man seeking compensation after his mechanic cracked his windshield.

My mechanic insists my windshield was already cracked before replacing my wipers, but I know it wasn't. How do I get them to pay for this?

A cracked windshield is expensive enough on its own. It's even more frustrating when it appears immediately after a routine service and nobody wants to accept responsibility.

My insurance company declared my rust damage to be normal wear and tear, but my mechanic says it's become a serious safety issue. Who is right?

Rust often starts as little more than an eyesore. But over time, what looks like ordinary corrosion can become a genuine structural problem.

My dealer keeps emailing me about 'mandatory software upgrades

I bought a new car last year, but the dealer keeps emailing me about "mandatory software upgrades." Can they force me to install them?

If your dealer keeps emailing about a “mandatory software upgrade,” it is easy to wonder whether you actually have a choice. In most cases, a dealer cannot simply force you to install routine software updates on your own car. The big exception is when the update is tied to a safety recall, because recalls are governed by federal safety rules and carry more legal weight.

My friend says buying the first model year of any car is asking for trouble. I'm tempted this year, but is that still true?

Your friend is repeating one of the oldest rules in car shopping, and it exists for a reason. A first model year often means new parts, new software, new suppliers, and real-world testing that is only beginning once customers start driving the car every day. That does not mean every redesigned or all-new car is a mistake, but history shows the risk is usually higher when a vehicle is brand new.

Ads play on the infotainment screen

My automaker started showing ads on my infotainment screen after an update. Can they really monetize a car I already own?

If your infotainment screen suddenly started pitching products after a software update, you are not alone. Drivers have reported exactly that in recent years, and the most widely documented example came from Jeep in early 2024. The short answer is yes, automakers can sometimes push new on-screen experiences into cars you already own, but that does not mean every ad practice is beyond challenge.
