The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray made its world debut at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, marking the first ground-up redesign of the Corvette in a decade and the revival of the storied Stingray name not seen since the C3 generation. Powered by a 6.2L LT1 V8 producing 460 horsepower, the C7 was available with a 7-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed paddle-shift automatic, and it rode on an all-new lightweight aluminum space frame chassis that improved rigidity while reducing weight over the outgoing C6.

When cars had personality ... ... 1978 Cadillac Couple de Ville A lady I knew - Velma - when I was a teenager had one of these with a Cerise Firemist Metallic exterior - sort of a light grapefruit color popular in those years. She knew I loved her car. -

That's a fair point. Even if it isn't "the same", it is certainly far too similar.- 1

That is certainly your opinion but I stand by it. That thing is hideous and just looking at the profile of the two, the $650K Ferrari looks way too similar to a $40K Toyota. That is not a Ferrari. That is a $650K bar of soap with wheels. You are right about the rest of it though. Just a whole lot of “meh” for that kind of coin. If it had a different logo attached to it, then it might look okay. However, if no one told us this was a Ferrari, we would never have guessed it was. That is my point here. Nothing about it says Ferrari and it looks very stale and boring for the price point.- 1

Ford News: Ford F-150 Lightning Goes EREV with 700+ Mile Range and Locomotive-Like Towing
Oh that is just plain silly that they'd have the same vehicle but some trims do and do not have CarPlay. I'm also in the same boat in not wanting a base model of pretty much anything. I dig the Lyriq (even though the name is horrible), but they're too pricey around me still. The cheaper ones are 40-42k and I just can't justify spending that.- Electric Truck

The front 2/3 of the car are attractive enough. I don't know much else about it. -

I would not get a Super. Find one with the normally aspirated 3800 V6. Toward its final year, they may have gone to a Chevy sourced 3900 V6 or 3500 V6. I guess those are ok if lower mileage, but the Buick 3800 V6 tends to be stellar. I just saw this or would have responded earlier. -

Starter Car?
@crvette_guy - I just thought of one if you really wanted a northstar and a larger sedan. You could get the final generation of Cadilac STS. The first gen CTS-V would work also, but they're harder to find cheap while also being in good shape. Still, the first-gen CTS-V is just a standard GM 5.7 or 6.0 liter and dead reliable. You can get it with a manual also. It might be worth spending a little more to go this route instead of going with a cheaper Northstar powered car in the long run.- 1

Starter Car?
There's not a lot of choices for RWD in the big family sedan space. Charger, 300C, Town Car, Crown Vic, or if you go a lot older, Impala, Roadmaster, Fleetwood. Crown Vics and Town Cars really don't have the performance to be doing sideways stuff. Charger/300 with a Hemi is your best bet for that. I wouldn't want to see you doing that with the Roadmaster / Fleetwood. They have the ability, but they're classics now and should be preserved. Outside of that you're looking at Germans (too expensive to maintain) or Lexus / Infiniti.- 1
