The Chevrolet Corsica is a 4 door sedan released in model year 1987, initially as a fleet rental vehicle. The Corsica and similar Beretta were the second best-selling car in America the next year. The Corsica was the first American car to be equipped with daytime running lights.
Chevrolet discontinued the Corsica and its L-body coupe counterpart, the Chevrolet Beretta, after the 1996 model year, possibly because of new legislation that required side impact bars. The Corsica was replaced by the 1997 Chevrolet Malibu.
