But those people are more likely to be in Cayennes or (I guess now) Macans, if they’re just looking to show off a badge.

That’s an interesting assertion, even more interesting with 44 upvotes attached to it. What, specifically, inspired it? Did someone in a Boxster run your SmartCar off the road, or something?

‘91 Fiero. Advanced prototype with Corinthian polyalloy U-joints.

You can order a 911 with a stick. There’s no real point because their DCT is so good, but you can do it, unlike Ferrari and Lambo.

CorvetteForum is full of posts from people who were denied test drives when the base C7 was launched. Many of them, if not most, were prior Corvette owners.

I love it. Title of book on Porsches: “Excellence Was Expected.” Title of book on Corvettes: “Shit Was Expected.”

In a panic, they try to pull the plug...

I’ll allow it
