Except the thread is about the increasing number of C8's on the road not how many Sonata's or F150's people ignore every day.

People are fooling themselves if they think the C8 is somehow going to be a rare exotic.

That happens. It’s amazing how many Rapid Blue we see in South Florida.

I guess you completely glossed over my third sentence stating it's a mass produced car that was never intended to be rare. They currently make up one one hundredth of a percent of registered vehicles in the USA, that's not exactly common. Of course they will be seen, but there are over nine million Mustangs and I don't see that many of those on any given day. Saying you see them at a C&C is even more ridiculous, that's like going to a Porsche club event and coming back saying everywhere you looked you saw a Porsche.

Saw 4 yesterday on the road around the Tampa Bay Area (one of them might have been the same one twice) seen 6 so far today, the last one was doing 40 mph in a 55 zone and I couldn’t get around.

Don't be too sure. I still get lots of smiles and "thumbs up" for my 2014 C7 (that's now seven years of star treatment)....
