They say ignorance is bliss, so shouldn't America be the happiest place on Earth? Gotta love all of these people who don't possess the ability to think for themselves and become brain washed by the media... This will help keep the corvette alive for future generations, I'm all for it. Maybe I'll be able to buy one a bit sooner now. |

Doesn't anyone read the copy for grammar?
Quote:
You consider it because it has enough power, or some other positive attribute. You could decide against it because "while it had enough power, it didn't improve fuel economy". You could even "consider it, but then decide against it". Any logic to that effect would be understandable. If this was someone who spoke English as a second language, that would be understandable, but that doesn't seem to be the case, judging by the rest of the article. This is how some native English speakers in the USA formulate concepts these days. Pidgeon English is just around the corner. It will be a language option in the settings of your see-through, flexible, iPad 12. "For common English, press 1. For old fashioned English where everyone knew how to read and write competently, press 2" Evidently, automotive jouranalists today think a document is ok if it passes spell check. Maybe I'm a bit nerdy, but it's undeniably f'd up to write like that in a national magazine. |

Plus, you can't just say "go buy a Camaro if you can't afford a Corvette..." because they're two different sports cars. I drive the most expensive Camaro made (ZL1) and my camaro is the closest thing to a Corvette because of the monster power and nimble handling due to the MR suspension. However, lower model Camaros won't be able to keep up with a corvette in stock form, and they are much heavier (4 seater v.s. 2 seater) so really you're comparing apples & oranges.
