01987 Chevrolet Corsica Test Drive
Chevrolet offered more model lines than any other automobile manufacturer. With that in mind, did it need another nameplate? Well, apparently Chevrolet thought so since it not only launched one but two models earlier this year. Corsica shared its platform and powertrains with Chevy’s two-door Beretta, but the two shared little sheetmetal.
After getting off to a very slow sales start, Chevy’s compact Beretta coupe and Corsica sedan zoomed up the ’88 chart despite minimal changes. Corsica convinced over 291,000 shoppers, Beretta more than 275,000. A quality-focused approach to 1987 production partly explains these spectacular gains.
Sales for the 1988 model year totaled almost 300,000, and though that “model year” lasted almost a year and a half, it was nonetheless an impressive debut showing.
