Default Corvette America's best sports car

Sorry if it was posted before:

S2000 was voted third, behind the vette and the 911, in both the subscribers and non-subscribers pools.

Not a bad company at all.

Pretty impressive to see the S2000 hanging around 50k+ autos!

I think it's pretty funny that AMERICA'S BEST cars have actually VERY few cars made in America.

Only 6 out of 37 cars (Viper & Vette in sports cars, Focus and Neon in economy, Town&Country in minivans and Mustang Cobra in sport coupes) that made the top 5 in each car category were actually American. Vette is the only American car that actually won its category.

good point......

maybe domestic car makers have resigned themselves to build quantity instead of quality.....it sure seems that way!

It's amazing that the 350Z get the #5 spot on the non-suscriber's list before release.
