People that own a expensive new Lincoln or Cadillac can likely afford another fun brand new weekend car. And often do. Some may buy a high performance Cadillac. So let's go generic with a new Hemi Challenger, Shelby Mustang, Dodge Viper, or Mercedes Roadster etc. The middle class typically cannot afford new Cadillacs or Lincolns. It wasn't a new Corvette specific topic. It's the affordability of new luxury oriented vehicles, performance or otherwise

Usually a comment such as a new Corvette on a review is when an import Toyota owner for example bashes all GM models. Meaning every single one is bad. The broad sweep of a brush doesn't apply. That's what happens. You could dislike a Lincoln. Does not mean that all Ford or Mercury models are bad as well. That's how other brands come up luxury or otherwise on many reviews. I think most get this clarification when comparing manufacturer's quality within a brand.
