Well all I can say is that, I as a new luxury car buyer, do not have any sports models (muscle, GT, or otherwise on my radar). None of the many elderly seniors that I know that buy American luxury brands by and large, have them on theirs either. It seems to me you think everyone that buys American luxury cars new is in the same boat as you, and I think you are quite mistaken. The majority of people 55 and over (the largest age group for this demographic) that buy Cadillacs, Lincolns, and whatever new don't have a Corvette or Viper sitting in the 3rd car garage stall. You my friend are in the lucky minority if we are to believe your comments at all.

How many times are you going to repeat the same comment that is not necessarily true?
We were a "middle America" family when I was younger back in the early '80s, and my father would purchase brand new top of the line Buick Electras and LeSabres that cost over $15,000. Not too far off from the price of Fleetwood/DeVilles, or Town Cars from that era.
And there is a bit of a difference from an '80s Impala to a Caprice. The Impala was more of a stripped model. Some even had rubber floors instead of carpet.
Kind of like comparing a '55 Chevy 150 model to a '55 Bel Air.
