Skid Row Joe gives it a thumbs up, just as he does the new Corvette.

Look, they (the designers) have to move forward with the styling to keep the model's sales Up.

I think they're trying, and I enjoy just looking at the new stuff as it gets released.

I like it, I like all the new Fords.

Corvette? Not-so-much, but I'm sure it's a great driving car.

I hate to waste a car salesperson's time, and, I know I won't fit comfortably in the Corvette just to test drive one I'm not going to buy.

The Mustangs? I'd like to drive a stick-shift GT and Shelby one day. That, would be fun to me - running the gears and in-control of the V8.

Why? That's the salesman's job -- you might change your mind after a test-drive, or you may recommend them to a friend if they're friendly and you liked the car.

Salesmanship isn't wasting time.

All too often "salesmanship" is selling CRAP and calling it TOOTHPASTE.

Looks a bit like a Mazda6 coupe from the side.

That's all true. I agree.

When I was looking for a used W211, one of the used car dealers I was shopping, had a C6 coupe for sale that I decided just for the heck of it to just slide in behind the wheel. Whoa! What a snug fit for my 6'0" 200 lb. frame that was! The C7s (I've read) from others are more of a tight fit than the C6es. I'm just not comfortable in a small cockpit anymore. When I bought my '77 Corvette, in December 1976, I was 6'0" and 170 lbs.

Maybe I should buy a new Chrysler T & C?
