No one said it was based on the American Corvette brand, I just said Corvette as a brand, we don't even know if in the GTA IV world it is just a part of a series of Declasse sport cars. In the end Chevrolet still makes Corvettes, it doesn't change because of what it is called or sold under.--[[User:Thescarydude|Thescarydude]] 18:56, July 8, 2010 (UTC) | No one said it was based on the American Corvette brand, I just said Corvette as a brand, we don't even know if in the GTA IV world it is just a part of a series of Declasse sport cars.

Mmm, I see, well I took it as you implied it was an American Corvette brand... cause you took out the Europe bits. And you are correct that Chevrolet still makes the Corvette, even the European Corvette. And this whole discussion stems from us looking way too far into this, so we might as well continue to do so. I look at it from R* N point of view in the EU, which I explained above. I just thought it would be interesting for some readers who may not be so knowledgeable in the complex world of automotive branding to know that in Europe, as cunningly denoted by R* calling Chevrolet's equivalent "Declasse" and Europe's Chevrolet being a very low-class car brand (as I also pointed out) so Invetero could be Declasse trying to distance an up-market vehicle from a down-market brand as is the case in Europe... of course, you could be right, too... Invetero may have nothing to do with Declasse. But as stated in the article, I too have heard the Police call it a "Declasse" when being chased, so... make of it what you will I s'pose, but I thought it would be interesting to note the confusion in GM Europe that is most likely replicated in GTA IV. The thing I love most about GTA is the fact it's as much a very intelligently scritped political satire as it is a controversially violent and sexual videogame, so I definitely see R* including this bit, and also mostly because the name "Declasse" describes the Europeans' opinion of Chevrolet to an absolute Tee. / [[User:Szebrine|Szebrine]] 19:21, July 8, 2010 (UTC) | |||
