I know several people who own both, and I know several long-time Porsche owners who have switched to Corvette, especially the higher power models. It’s anecdotal evidence at best, but yeah, I’d say some percentage of buyers cross shop the two.

Okay, it’s not just me. Maybe it’s better in person, and these photos looked considerably better than the press kit ones floating around, but it looks like a sad catfish to me.

If you regularly transport viper v-10's.. IN PAIRS.. We need to be friends IRL.

I never have understood why people say that sedans have ‘compromised utility.’ How many times - exactly - have you needed to transport a 72" desk from Ikea in the past 3 years? How about a pile of plywood and 2x4's? Chances are the answer is “uh... well, I did have a little trouble getting that office chair to fit.” Read more

It’s going to take me a long, long time to come around on that front end. I appreciate that they swung for the fences, but, man. Catfish vibes.
