Designers are never a good sample set. We have odd tastes and corner case functional needs that lead to Volvo wagons…
I’ve only ever bought 3 cars: Toyota MR 2, Audi TT quattro, Audi s5
None of them are in the league of the Corvette, so I would not say I am a true sports car guy, but I would certainly put it in my comparison set for the next vehicle.
