I think there is a cultural difference base on where we live. Appears you
live in Michigan and I live in Southern Calif. Domestic vehicles are in the
minority here.

In fact, if you drive a domestic vehicle, I think you are looked upon as
being something of a bumpkin.

I think Chevy would sell more vehicles here if they were to remove all the
gold bow tie symbols from their cars.

I agree with you that I do not think Corvette is the flagship of the GM
brand. Not sure an OHV engine with no variable valve timing or direct
injection can ever be considered praiseworthy.

I like the Cad with their modern GM engine variants as state of the art for
GM. GM has to keep up with reliabiliy and get the resale value up.
