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.

corvette is a lot more reliable than a volt. corvette also has cheap parts that are easier to work on than a fit for example. if you actually provide proof then i will change the table, im not skewing results, im looking at car forums and noting what they say. Also i dont have the time for anymore users to arbitrarily disagree with me because of preconceived ideas, so if someone thinks im wrong; if you can even moderately prove it without using faulty logic i will look into it and make changes as needed. safety isnt just crash ratings. i have done 16 hour road trips before and more 12 hour road trips than i can count. mostly in an mx5 with a loud exhaust and no sound insulation. i did 6 hours once on the highway(100-110kph) with the top down. I have done a lot of over night 12 hour road trips before 1100km. I thought about comfort but better seats + sound insulation can dramatically change any car so its a minor consideration that can be changed relatively easily.
