#1 Car that Americans can't live without
 
That's right my friends, it's the Corvette :)

Cars America Can't Live Without - MSN Autos

Cliff notes for our ADD friends:

The highest-ranked model, the Chevrolet Corvette, comes as no surprise. Ever since its 1953 introduction, the Corvette has been the quintessential American sports car. "It's America's Ferrari," says Hagerty.

Other winners on the list include fun rides with knockout styling, heritage or both, such as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Saturn Sky roadster; pickup trucks with irreplaceable utility, namely the Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram; critically acclaimed newer models such as the Cadillac CTS and Chrysler 300 sedans — all vehicles that spark pride and prove that Detroit, when it puts its mind to it, can compete with the best.


Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet! :thumbup:

gresch,

That report has such a narrow, small sample. "nearly 1,000 clients" of "Hagerty Insurance, the nation's leading insurer of vintage and collector cars." Never even heard of Hagerty Insurance...

I do like the Corvette but I don't believe that list is correct...

Vette, Stang, 300, F150...seems like the quintessential list :)

An elite sports car with 2 seats, a 4 seater average joe muscle car, a sedan and a work truck.

Quote:

(F150) Its unbroken 26-year streak as the nation's best-selling car or truck — easily whipping the Accord, Camry, whatever — speaks for itself:
The F-150 has been the best selling vehicle in the USA since I was 4 years old :thumbup:

You're forgetting the Americans who have Ferrari's, GT-R's, Titan's and Tundra's. ;)

Don't bother, I mean the sample is *only* from Hagerty's clients, what do *those people* know about cars? :rolleyes:

Oh, excuse me. I have not heard of Hagerty Insurance...

The article title is misleading. The question that was asked of Hagerty Insurance was "... what American cars they wouldn't want to live without". This list makes a whole lot more sense then :)

the 300 / f150 and the mustang....



those three cars in 3 years are worth half of what they cost when new... = junk

dsm2925 04-28-2009 08:41 PM

thats why they are going out of biz(or already are)
