Comparison the z to a vette

I admire the Corvette for its engineering (especially its power plant) although I must say I’ve never been too impressed with its interior quality or fit/finish. That said, other than both having two seats I don’t see a lot of common ground between the two vehicles.

The biggest problem with the Corvette is not the vehicle itself but so many of the people who buy them. While not universally true of course, many Corvette owners are either not real “car people” (they buy the car for status only- nothing makes me more sad than to see a powerful sports car in the hands of someone who could care less about its capabilities) or they are so enamored of themselves that when you look up the definition of “stuck up” you’ll find a picture of a Corvette owner!

On a personal note, at this point, I also have a big problem with GM in general. Until 2004 I had almost exclusively owned GM vehicles but I never will again. I was almost starting to forgive GM for taking bailout money until Whitacre decided to inundate us with commercials touting how GM had paid back part of their “loan” five years early (while forgetting to mention that they did it by using TARP money to do it)…at that point, any consideration for every buying another GM vehicle went right out the window and Ford products look better and better to me all the time!
