I've read this entire thread and these are my opinions.
It's a horrible situation. But if the dealer is offering a newer zl1 with lower mileage with similiar options then that is fair. I do not think they are you a brand new car. They owe you the same car you had, no more no less. It's the same as if someone caused an accident hat the car was totaled in. Just because it's an extreme case doesn't mean you can make extreme requests.
If the dealer is offering what insurance is saying the car is worth that's also unfortunately fair. Just like if your car was in a wreck caused by someone else while you were driving it.
Now, from the op's statements it doesn't seem the dealer is actually offering to replace the car or pay for a replacement.
To the folks saying people shouldn't be bashing the dealer....really? Even if they wrecked his car and gave him a brand new zl1 the next day the dealer should still be hung! Any dealer that allows this to happen should suffer a huge backlash from the public.
To the OP, I'd get the idea of expecting a new zl1 or the money or one out of your head. The dealership isn't going to do it, and the courts wouldn't ever require it.
The dealership owes you exactly what you previously owned.
