Update:A new Bloomberg report claims GM is indeed working on a plan to expand the Corvette brand into a range of cars, with an electric crossover the most likely first result. Bloomberg's sources say the Corvette crossover could go on sale as soon as 2025.
One of those shadowy vehicles wound up grabbing more attention than the rest, however. Can we zoom and enhance on the center-right side of the image?

A little closer, on the SUV in the very back:

Why...that crossover kind of looks like it might be related to the Corvette, doesn't it?
Here's what we know so far.
The hidden SUV has Corvette-like design cues
Granted, there's never been a Corvette SUV before, so we have no idea what one should look like — but this vehicle would seem to fit the bill. Apparent allusions to the C8 'Vette abound: the LED running lights have a similar angle and shape, while the little we can make out of the front fascia — which seems to feature a wide mouth-like grille mounted low and smaller air intakes on either side — are distinctly C8-like, as is the textured hood.
There’s a bit of a resemblance, right?

General Motors seems to say it's a Buick
As Roadshow pointed out, however, GM vice president of global design Michael Simcoe (the man seen in front of the phalanx of EVs in the image above) suggested both of the non-Cadillac crossovers over his right shoulder were Buicks.
Of course, we have no idea what the future of Buick's design language will be, but it's safe to say that this vehicle doesn't share much of a visual resemblance to the brand's current lineup, as seen below.
Do any of these resemble the mystery crossover to you?
Buick
Indeed, the only detail of the design we can make out that doesn't look particularly 'Vette-y is the kink in the window trim between the C- and D-pillars, which reminds us of nothing so much as the treatment in that area on the Bolt...which is, of course, a Chevy.
There's a lot of evidence an electric Corvette (of some sort) is coming
GM's CES presentation made it clear that the brand sees electric vehicles as the future; if there was any doubt about that, the advertising campaign they simultaneously launched, dubbed "Everybody In," suggests that the General aims to build an EV to satisfy the needs of every type of customer — or at least, every type of customer they currently cater to.
