^ pontiac is taking the plunge. Also, I've driven a few vettes in the last couple years, including an extended test drive of an 09 last weekend. Fast yes, piece of ****? yes. That's based on the quality things I look for, such as interior quality, fit/finish, squeeks, rattles, thoughtfulness of cabin design, and so on.
PS, what did they do when the economy got tough? They raised the msrp by roughly 2K.

Corvette can easily be spun-off, and easily sold as a single brand. Maybe then the new company would finally give it the interior, and other refinements the Corvette has always deserved. Still an iconic automobile, and about as Americana as you can get with an automobile.

This makes me think of that episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson Said he absolutely loved the ZR1 but also basically said it was a piece of $h1t.
