And stratospheric maintenance costs.

LMAO.....badge snob

That's always the fall-back response.

Corvette is not a Luxury sports car.

Maybe it is the "fallback response" but you did not refute anything I said.

Obviously the Ferraris, Lambos and Porsches are assembled with more exotic materials - but carbon-fiber dashboards and solid aluminum switches don't necessarily make a car more "luxurious". A garden-variety midsizer is a more comfortable car for a long journey. If "luxury" is defined by how many stares and finger-points you get, or by how many bimbos and golddiggers will jump into bed with you just for a ride in the car, or how massively the car depreciates, or by how many people are trying to get rid of their 1- and 2-year old "exotics" (just pick up a copy of DuPont Registry and see for yourself)...

If all of that is what constitutes "luxury" then I wholeheartedly agree with you - the 'Vette is definitely not a luxury sports car. But the comforts and luxuries that it does offer its occupants is very, very close to those offered by cars costing much much more.
