Used to be the C5, but now I am retired I don't need a DD. This is our other car, a Genesis G80 AWD (we get winters here). Lexus quiet, very comfortable seats and can be driven pretty aggressively if needed. Handling is more Audi/Benz than Lexus. A lot fewer $$ than any of them. Perfect long distance car - we took it up to Canada just after we had it - 400 miles, one quick stop for lunch and gas (to avoid Canadian prices). No discomfort at all.

Nice to see all that posted so far take pride in their daily drivers also. But then we all have one thing in common and that's a Corvette, and lets face it, we like them clean too.

2013 Infiniti G37X AWD. One of the best cars I have ever owned. Perfect balance of comfort and performance in a daily driver. She has been a trooper in winter weather, too. 89,000 trouble-free miles to date. Will likely trade her in next spring for a newer Infiniti Q50S 3.0T AWD, but I really do like the Kia Stinger GT and the Genesis G70 Sport. I will be giving them all test-drives soon.

The C5 IS the daily driver now and has been for the past few years. The C4 is the weekend cruiser:

Have a reelative who had a Q50T AWD for some years. Really good day to day car. He only just got rid of it in fact - replaced it with a 4 series.

C5 is my daily but the f150 is used when the weather doesn't cooperate, or I need to go to the dump or garden center.
