The Chevrolet Corsica is a front-wheel drive compact* automobile that was produced by General Motors from 1987 to 1996. The Corsica was built upon the L-body platform which was developed (along with the N-body). It shared the L-body with the 2-door Beretta, and the rebadged revival of the Pontiac Tempest which was essentially the same car sold in Canada. The Corsica came in two styles and four trims. Sold only as a 4-door sedan, it was also available as a 5-door hatchback from 1989 to 1991. Corsicas were built alongside the Beretta in both Wilmington, Delaware and Linden, New Jersey.

The XT trim was an even more rare and little remembered offering on certain years, which included all the performance parts from the LTZ trim as well as a leather interior and a special body kit and spoiler package designed for GM by a third party supplier. 1990 Chevrolet Beretta Indy Pace Car replica The Chevrolet Beretta was a front wheel drive coupé produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors from 1987 through 1996. ...
