Rolex could do the same, but then it wouldn't be so luxurious.
If GM made the interior nicer, they could jack the price of that thing 70K and it would be considered a true exotic.
Because these things will never happen, the z06 will never even be in the same market as the true exotics. No one will ever be deciding between a z06 and a Ferrari/Lambo/whatever.

You're absolutely right, but for most people the reason they would choose the exotic over the vette is the same reason a wealthy lady would overpay for a handbag. Prestige rather than personal satisfaction.
Not to say that there aren't people who have held a genuine interest in the brand as a 'dream car' for many years and would like to see their dreams fulfilled - and for these type of cars there are no doubt many that fit that category.

The Ferrari definitely has more style than a Z06 IMO. Lambo's look like little wedge shaped doorstops to me (I like the Countach and more vintage models). It's all a matter of personal preferance though. Porsche purists are probably ridiculing the Cayman, though personally I like it's styling over that of 911's.
