I kinda like what Callaway has done with some recent corvettes. He typically includes an appearance package along with tuning, and I think his appearance packages add a slight European/Italian sophistication to the vette while retaining most of it's American "toughness." I wish GM would take the Vette in that direction. I think some people still consider the Vette to be a little to uncouth or redneck-ish for a $50K+ car.

In the alternative, GM should evolve the XLR into such a car for cadillac. The current XLR is an ugly POS. I'd like to see a lot less chiseled art and science and a lot more Italian influence in that car. For some reason, the art and science look just doesn't seem to translate well to a car with the XLR's proportions, IMO.
