Now that the initial buzz surrounding the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has worn off, Chevrolet is expanding the number of dealers eligible to sell the car. You may recall that during the car’s sales launch last fall, Chevrolet limited the Corvette Stingray’s availability to only those dealers that had sold four or more Corvettes the previous year.

The 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid offers all-weather traction and V-8-like performance, with the fuel-efficiency of a four-cylinder. That's one way to sum up this tech-loaded luxury flagship, which will begin reaching Acura dealerships next spring.
