They've done that same tired video for dozens of products, from cameras to cars. Been around a looong time.

I know, but it's always fun.

Bingo. I had a '06 C2S cab. Got it very lightly used for $57k. My co-worker bought a '13 C2S cab last year for about $140k. Nice car for sure....but we are talking $83k in price difference between two cars that the average bloke on the street would swear is the exact same car. I can't see getting back into a 911 until the 991s start coming WAY down on the used market.

Pertaining to the original topic, I've seen several Vettes driving around Bowling Green. I think it sounds great, but that's where the complements end for me. Another guy I work with buys a new Vette every 3-4 years, so hopefully he will get one soon so I can take it for a spin. I'm sure it's fun to drive, just not my cup of tea.
