WHY do we so often see beautiful women in Corvettes?

So basically you are saying that the genetically gifted will have the earning power to purchase a Corvette and incidentally those same genetic gifts will imbue those individuals with above average attractiveness especially in the females.
While this line of reasoning is intriguing, I doubt that it has merit. The stereotype of the idiot supermodel not withstanding I don't think a single study has conclusively linked earning power, intelligence, and attractiveness.
Also consider that of a random sampling of female Corvette drivers that you encounter your mind will make notes of the ones you find attractive and disregard the ones you don't. Thereby skewing your perceived random sample into a heavily biased one.

"achievers, successful and willing to take the calculated risks in life that such goals often require. They are the survivors and have a thought process that dictates the end game."
and "I would imagine the reverse... would be true for women"
Beauty doesn't always mean maximum physical attractiveness ---which is subjective anyway---and perhaps you judge yourself too critically. It's another sign of a successful person.

Actually, there have been a number of studies that have linked physical attractiveness with earning power and higher salaries. I agree that intelligence has not been conclusively linked, but $$$ and looks are tied to each other rather tightly.

That could be skewed by the model/athlete job category which would artificially raise earning power of the more attractive group because those jobs (especially athletes) pay above/well above the national average. But take Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Oprah (esp. when she isn't on a diet) these are people that certainly wouldn't fall into the "above average" category for attractiveness but certainly would for income.

WHY do we so often see beautiful women in new Corvettes? Other threads often touch on this but I haven't seen one as a direct issue. I intended to reply to another thread but thought the whole post a better idea, especially for the C6.
I believe most newer Vette owners are achievers, successful and willing to take the calculated risks in life that such goals often require. They are the survivors and have a thought process that dictates the end game. Certain women tend to find these things unusually appealing.
These are also the characteristics most likely to advance and continue the human race. And since nature has chosen physical appearance as a means of drawing people together for specie procreation, it is only natural that attractive women of child-bearing age would find these men and their characteristics enticing. They too are biogically programmed to survive and continue the species and the two are drawn together. It's not especially about the car but the driver.
I would imagine the reverse process would be true for women but I believe this is why you so often see beautiful women in Corvettes. It's a natural.
