She wouldn't even consider a Jag, she's been a Q45 driver since 91. I think she is on her 6th Q!

Not surprised but I sure would be worried if I was GM! Talk about the graying of America, over 16% of their customer base is going to be dead before the C7 generation (statistically speaking) and fully 50% will be looking at Buicks in fifteen years! Those have got to be scary numbers if your manufacturing a high end sports car like the Vette. Where are they going to get their next generation from?
