What evidence do you have that the C6 is junk? If you are basing the build quality of the current car on experience with previous versions, then you aren't a valid source. Even worse, is that you say basically infer that the vette is owned by old people with money, but have you seen the avg crossfire owner? C'mon guy, the average crossfire owner is about the same age as the avg buick owner---which isn't a bad thing, but it's not the youth mobile you are suggesting.

And yes, modern vettes are somewhat common. So are Porsche boxsters/caymans and 911s. But they're sports cars, so on the road in most areas, they are still somewhat rare compared with sedans and SUVs that clog the streets. The other thing is that because these cars are popular for what they are, that means their value on the used market keeps decreasing with each passing year. Bring on the $25k 505 hp zo6!
