A flop, imo, is when a new model car sells alot less than it was predicted to do (Pontiac Aztec, Chevy SSR, Chrysler Crossfire). And no, I would not call the Vette a flop. Chevy makes them in such a volume as to meet demand. You don't see Corvettes being slashed because they've sat on the lots for months, and you don't see the Gov't having to pay people to buy Corvettes.
Again I ask; if people really want these cars, why does the Gov't have to pay people to buy them?
