    I've actually seen a couple of people on car podcasts and whatnot compare the two product trajectories. There's a very loud, in your face segement that absolutely goes crazy for it out of the gate, but that market is quickly saturated.

    Once that happens the bottom falls out of the resale market and the distinctiveness of the product goes from being its biggest selling point to being a boat anchor weighing it down as it helps fix the product to a specific time in the past - i.e. it quickly become very dated.

    We seem to be about halfway down that curve. In 10 years people will be embarased to drive them, not because of any of the reasons people hated them out of the gate but rather because in the 2030s, they'll be soooooo 2023.

    Then by like 2055 they'll become super cool again as people get excited about kitchy retro tech, and every middle aged child of the 2010's tries to relive their childhood.

    A retired Boomer with a gray beard and some type of US Navy cap driving a 'Vette is what I see on the road from time to time. I don't see many young guys driving 'Vettes.

    So maybe things will evolve in the future away from 'Vettes.

    Retired old guy with cap is the main Corvette demo.

    I do like the current Hot Wheels-inspired model for some reason.

    They probably dreamed of a 'Vette when they were young and they had to settle for a Camaro or Mustang that their parents gave them.
