What did you tell your insurance company and what car did you have 
before.  If you just went from a 68 nova with an 86 GLH, expect a
whopping increase.  If you don't think about insurance when you 
buy a car, what difference is it when you lease?  I own an 85 GLH
Turbo and was actually pleased witht he insurance rating.  My 
rating went down from my 80 Pontiac but my actual rates went up
because of it being a newer model.

BTW, the GLH Turbo is considered a 'compact economy' car by
Prudential and Nationwide, with very low corresponding premiums
because it is a '4-door'!!!!!  Maybe it also matters that I'm over
30 and married, but I was just comparing two cars so the rest is
the same.  

When I called the Nationwide rep for my area, he told me the GLH is rated
at number 7 on a scale of 3 to 23.  He didn't look up the Corvette, but he
said that was up around number 20 or 21.  Seems that 4 doors saved me
a bundle.
