the Vette 100% without doubt is a lot of bang for the buck from a performance stanpoint. But it does carries that 'midlife crises' association with it as mentioned above... recently I think I heard a GM marketing exec quoted as saying its "a car for the successful plumber" (i'm not knocking plumbers here), and they expect this new 2014 will change that. Will it?

Another rub: US automakers continue to steel from European design cues and muck it up. The head on view of the front of this vette is borrowing far to much from the new Berlinetta or F470 Italia designs. Its bad enough that Ford has tried to steal Aston Martins front grille look recently, and Chrysler really thought they would get away with a knock off Bentley design with the 300c's of recent years. And now Chevy has joined the club. Atleast the Vette used to be original.
