Another comical complaint quoted from the article is from a 70-year-old retired accountant from New Jersey who says "I just don’t like the look of a short front end,” and concludes that he thinks the view from the driver's seat would make it feel like "driving a bus.” Curiously, this is not a complaint we've often had driving front-engined supercars that already exist from the likes of McLaren, Ferrari, and Lamborghini.
To hammer home how reactionary Corvette fans can be, WSJ then brings up Tom Peters, who led the exterior design for previous generations of the Corvette. He remembered the controversy when they dropped the pop-up headlamps, specifically the hate mail he got and how "We would go to these Corvette events and people wanted to get physical with me.”
WSJ also brings up the outrage from the purists when Porsche switched from using air-cooled engines to water-cooled engines. However, they neglect to mention the fact that Porsche and the 911 is doing just fine and the point of evolving sports cars is to actually evolve. If Chevy was to keep listening to the cigar-chomping Tommy Bahama wearing retirees that are stuck in the past, the Corvette simply wouldn't improve.
