No more Cadillacs? No more Corvettes?

1. Not much of a gearhead, are you?
Neither marque is going anywhere. As for "assholes" I can tell you that any car buff worth his/her weight knows full well that the Corvette is better than any other car in it's class. The ZR1 will destroy just about anything under 7 figures.

3. Why would a woman care?
If a man was buying a car solely for the purpose of impressing a woman that only had eyes for his ride's badge, he could do it a lot cheaper for an entry level BMW, Benz or Lexus.

5. Your point, at least to me
was to suggest that Cadillacs and Corvettes are symbolic in some way of assholes trying to impress women by purchasing them.

33. The Gallardo is nice, but a 10 year old 550?
Regardless, the ZR1 still embarrasses them both on a track.

And for under $100k, that Lambo has to be at least 4 years old.

I didn't know destruction was what we were aiming for.

I choose the Batmobile, then.

21. I have to agree....
I've rarely encountered an "asshole" Vette driver- certainly no more often than the natural occurrence of assholes.

22. I also love Corvettes. Had an ex-boyfriend who owned one.
And occasionally I would borrow it. Definitely a great car. Also, had a boyfriend who owned a Cadillac El Dorado. Used to borrow that too. Beats the Corvette in style and performance.

19. The Corvette is an American icon now in its 56th continuous year
and 'assholes' have flocked for decades to the local Porsche dealer....that is 'their' car...
