I guess I have a problem agreeing with this statement. I have never thought of the Vette as an exclusive car. Maybe the Z-0 series, but every other garage in my neighborhood houses one and you see them as often as Mustangs on the street. My Z is more unique than any of the Vettes will be.

It's not your fathers Cadillac, that's for sure. I am looking forward to meeting one in the twistys. As soon as the straight aways show up, its all over.
For the money I'd pony up a little more and grab the GTR, but I am predjudiced against the thought of, being old enough, to consider a caddy. It is nice to see GM competing with Germany, and the world.

GM has been putting detuned Corvette engines in Caddies and Camaros for years

I'm sure we'll see a VQ37VHR in a Murano one of these days

Nah, they just drop in the 5.0L V8 and call it an Infiniti FX50.

I'm not sure where you live but around Michigan vettes are anything but something different and special, they are about as common as Mustangs and rarely ever turn a head in these parts.

And yeah vette engines in sedans isn't anything new for GM, the impala was the car that got it in the 90's.

Not really. The CTS-V is nothing like a corvette. That's like saying a Ford Lightning cheapens the Mustang line-up. Two totally different vehicles.
