What we have in common, is the love of Corvettes. Martha wrote on November 13, - pm Permalink. I bought our Corvette 10 years ago. After my husband retired it was a well-deserved retirement gift. Still have it, but now have 2 C7s so that we can both drive and get further than 30 miles from home.

AutoNews reported on spy shots of a what looks to be a heavily camouflaged midengine Corvette testing in the snow and said,. Switching from a front to midengine layout would entail engineering a new chassis, creating a new transaxle — the transmission and axle — to drive the rear wheels, developing new cooling, air-conditioning and suspension systems, and designing an all-new body.
It would also, GM hopes, make the car appeal to a younger crowd. The biggest problem, in my humble opinion, is that the Corvette was coolest when older people were young. The other brands require a deeper appreciation for quality cars, while the Corvette is a feel-good purchase that makes people reminiscent of when they were younger. Would a midengine Corvette make you interested in buying one, or would you rather have a Camaro?
Shopping for a new vehicle? Nicholas makes a good point. But there is one additional factor we may be overlooking. The major reason folks in their 40s and 50s buy Ferraris, Lambos and Porsches is because it give them a sense of upscale accomplishment, European class.
Also, some like the way they perform. GM has proven performance. Then they may appeal to younger affluent buyers. As you mentioned, this is because older buyers are more enticed with this brand. He takes it to Hooters and tells the girls about it. They talk about how sexy it is and how sexy he is in it.
But everybody dodges him when he asks for a number. He gets smirks at best. Mike tries online dating, he picks up his first date in his Vette. He revs it up a bit and she looks mortified, The date goes bad. The date goes ok. The Vette sits because he is going to track it one day.
He never does.
