Jay Leno Shows Off Blue 2020 Corvette Stingray
Our favorite denim enthusiast was caught in khakis at the new Corvette reveal. He was given access to the car along with Corvette Chief Engineer Ed Piatek. In a teaser for his show’s new season, Jay Leno shows off a blue 2020 Corvette Stingray. Ed reveals how practical the 8th generation Corvette is, starting with the trunk. This unique space behind the engine can hold 2 sets of golf clubs, or the Targa roof panel. Because the engine is behind the cockpit, the 2020 Corvette is comfortable for taller customers. The squared-off steering wheel and low door sill make entry and exit much easier. We’ll have to wait for a proper road test since his new season premiers August 28th.
