To me, there just seems to be a type with corvette owners. Kind of like Volkswagen Jetta owners, Chrysler 300 owners, and trucks with lift kits



Seems to me like you care a lot about self image as it relates to cars

I'd never buy a first generation of a newly configured vehicle like that. I actually think the C7 looks better


This.

Bought a ‘19 Grand Sport a few months ago. On the fence about the looks of the new pseudo-Vette, and no way in hell would I buy one the first year. They still haven’t worked out the kinks in the C7 Z06, which is why I bought a Grand Sport.

I like the look of the C8 but knew from the get go it wouldn't look like a Vette going mid engine.

There's no mistaking a C7. And the ZO7's look aggressive as hell.

I’m too tall to fit in a Corvette. Bc I’m actually tall, unlike the average 6’3” OTer.

The average age of a new car buyer is 53. Not sure of color of pigment.

(Oddly enough the Challenger buyer is 51 and the Mustang/Camaro is older and closer to the 53 number. I would've bet the other way. )

I suspect, based on what I've read across multiple car boards, the avg. age of the C8 buyer may be lower, but as a two-seat sports car, it's not really a family vehicle.

You know who would have loved the 2020 Corvette?

Ha-ha, Modern, joke's on you.

We don't button them all the way up, gotta let the gold chains and chest hairs get free.

Why not a Panamera?

Never in my life have I understood the wagon infatuation amongst car enthusiasts, but the Panamera sport turismo is easily a first day purchase if I hit the lotto.



They also look 100x better in person than in pictures. There's one I used to pass by everyday on OC Haley in NOLA.

Kinda odd, what the numbers showed.

Errbody always says Corvette buyers are old, turns out they're right, b/c all new car buyers are old.

That's one gaudy sophomoric Hot Wheel looking piece of crap right there. Will not age well at all.

I like the Panamera, but Rize (despite keeping those two fine dogs which I ain't forgot yet ) is spot-on with the M5.

It is still the class of the field.

What a waste of money. My Honda Accord accomplishes the same thing.
