Kelley Blue Book Picks 10 Cars That 'Reignite The American Dream'

The "American Dream" seems to still be talked about although I am not quite sure what it refers to anymore. House, white picket fence, 2 kids, middle calss? Being a billionaire like Bill Gates? Own your own business? Drive a muscle car? I really don't know. Kelley Blue Book apparently knows what our dream is though and has picked 10 cars that reignite it. ;) Here are the first 3 (click here for the other 7):
Chevrolet Corvette For nearly 60 years the Corvette has captivated drivers across America and far beyond, rising in status from an innovative convertible with then-fancy features like fuel injection and power windows to the supercar that is today's ZR1. As American as Jon Stewart interviewing Springsteen for Rolling Stone, the Corvette is our homegrown exotic-fighter that is as competent pacing the Indy 500 as it is comfortably cruising down the main drag in Anytown, USA. Ford Mustang The Ford Mustang is so American, it's a cliche rivaling apple pie. Cliche or not we love the Stang. It's a car with more attitude than sense, exhibited by the ultimate availability of a 550-horsepower V8 whose prodigious power is directed to the rear wheels via an impossibly dated live axle. Thankfully, the Mustang's "classic" elements are contrasted by modern touches including an impressively efficient V6 and the latest generation of infotainment technology, ensuring this quintessential American pony car will stay relevant for years to come. Jeep Wrangler With lineage tracing back to the battlefields of World War II, the Jeep Wrangler has become the 4-wheeled personification of American Exceptionalism. When we think of freedom, images of treading through waist-high water, crawling mammoth-sized rock formations, and climbing 45-degree grades frequently come to mind. To the casual observer, the Wrangler's go-anywhere, do-anything philosophy might seem like idle boasting, but to Jeep owners, it's a way of life.
Seems like these are just classic cars. According to them apparently the American Dream is a throwback to the simpler times. Maybe they have free shipping coupons for these cars. :P
