Especially now that there are options like the mid engine corvette or R8

TIL that Audi still sells the R8. I figured that went out of production years ago.

Can't wait to see what Chevy does with the upcoming C8 trim levels. The base C8 is interesting to me but it'll look better with more meat up front.

You don’t see Renault Dusters that often in the USA. Apparently made in Columbia
