Your saftey numbers are way off. I also doubt the vette is that reliable and it's a PITA to work on when it does break. So now it looks like you are pushing a result. Just buy what you want, you don't have to convince yourself or anyone else. Even putting looks on the chart and weighting one car so high above the others shows emotion is more important than functionality. You also need to convert the cost to a score as well as the MPG.
Again, just by the Vette at least resale might be better as you are getting a better deal at that price then the others on that list.

Ps Comfort might be a consideration. Maybe you don't mean "road trip" like I do but being able to sit in the thing for at least 4 hours without a stop is a must. Now string 4, 4 hour sings back to back. A higher seat is more comfortable according to most drivers 65 or 70 series tires are much more comfortable than 40's.
