Hmm. The fact that a hideous Corvette ripoff seen on Autoblog shows it’s ugly mug on TTAC…
…and the fact that someone took a C6 and tried to make it look like a Ferrari. IMO, the C6 looks better than most recent cars to bear Enzo’s legacy(cough*612*cough*California*cough).
I really would like to know who is brandishing the buttercup whip in Maranello and lashing the Prancing Horses.
The background is a picture of the interior. Also it does come with a pushrod V12 and cost $300k+. The waiting list is postponed for now, unless you happen to have $17+ Billion lying around.
It can’t be Detroit, the car isn’t vandalized with buy USA written on it.
So how much time have you spent in Detroit over the last 5 years? I’ve driven Volvos, VWs, a Toyota, a Honda, a Lotus and a Jaguar in and around Detroit and have never heard so much as an unkind word for driving an import.

I think they were referring to the well publicized vandalism incidents in Woodhaven. I make regular business trips to the Detroit area and had an overt incident near the Rouge plant last year when I saw two idiots in an F-150 driving up to my car in a parking lot and acting/pretending like they were going to run over it. I wasn’t in it and was watching from a building.
There are plenty of other incidents I’ve experienced that I can’t say for sure were related to the fact that I was driving an import or if they would have happened anyway. I’ve spent most of my time in the Dearborn area and Downriver, so maybe it’s more of an issue down there.
GM and Ferrari hooked up one night, a very drunken night, and 9 months later that is the turd it shat out. Look the mother is in the backround, must have been a breach birth.
If you had never seen a Corvette or a Ferrari, then the only truly objectionable thing about this (other than the expense of replacing perfectly fine Corvette body parts) is the egg crate grill. The 308-esque C buttresses can go away too.
I’m from Chicago. It was kind of swampy, but we burned it down and started over; it’s rather nice now. I know that Detroit is doing that on a house-by-house basis, but sometimes it just works better to do the whole city all at once.
We let our failed companies (United, Tribune, etc.) fail, instead of begging for bailouts. It seems to keep the city vibrant.
And I’ve never seen anyone’s car get vandalized in Chicago unless they fell behind on paying protection money to their alderman.
The joke was not really that an angry autoworker would vandalize this car for being foreign, but that an angry autoworker would vandalize this car for being foreign even though it’s just a rebodied Corvette.
I, like most other people, have no problem with Detroit. We just mind its self righteous sense of entitlement.
-The Detroit automakers have nothing to do with national defense (except for in the past, when they also helped the Nazis).
-The Detroit automakers would have failed even without a financial crisis, and contributed to the financial crisis with their captive finance arms.
-The money given to the Detroit automakers is in no way a “loan”, it is just money being thrown down the drain until a time in their future when their failures will be less inconvenient.
That some people from the Detroit area insist on lying about all of the above to get what, absent some kind of bankruptcy, will be never ending bailouts tends to annoy the rest of the country.
I would have at leatht uthed Invithalign bratheth on that Corvette inthtead of giving it a metal mouth.
Gonna really put those run flat tires to the test!
Is it a Chevrolet with a Ferrari styling kit, or a Ferrari Americana?
You mean besides the fact that whoever resized it did an ass-tastic job?
What’s wrong is that it looks nearly as good as Pininfarina’s latest sheetmetal for Ferrari.

GM are still making cars in the background factory?
Now Paging Sonny Crockett – you’re new car has arrived.
Chernobyl shat a Ferrari. ….and who says nuclear disasters (peace time, of course) are not without their benefits?!?!
It is a high performance front engine, V8, rear wheel drive sports car from a failed automotive company on government welfare.
So it could be Ferrari California. . .
Except that it is not ugly enough.
So it must just be a rebodied Corvette.
Bit of a waste, the Corvette looks better without the fugazi body panels.
Is that what Detroit looks like? I guess they really do need a bailout!
pariah:
It can’t be Detroit, the car isn’t vandalized with buy USA written on it.

Methinks this is something new from Callaway?
Corvette beauty ruined by Ferrari

Pray tell, from what fine city do you hail?
Good job on the flying buttresses.
Doesn’t the Ferrari use Delphi shocks?
Somebody made a real Lightning McQueen from Disney-Pixar’s “Cars”
MMM..lustrous liquid metalic paint like the Fisker and American Racing Torque Thrust rims with tall 235/70R15 series tires. Matchbox heaven.

Why?

Is that the Cobo Center in the background?

If I had a nice bunker like that, I wouldn’t spoil the view by parking THAT car down range of my weaponry.
Isn’t Innotech the name of the company where the guys in Office Space worked?
