I'm saying that you can like or dislike American cars all day but the Corvette is not an accurate portrail of the average American car. In my opinion you cannot be a fan of cars, a TRUE FAN of cars, and hate on the Corvette. It's <i>the</i> American sports car. It's even priced at a point that if you worked hard all your life and saved, you could actually afford to have one no matter how little you make. It serves as sports car for the working blue-collar man, if he worked hard enough. You can't say that about a Viper, a Ford GT, etc.
