Who is getting a '16 2SS conv? My guess is only a thousand or 2 will be built.

Me

I'm planning on it, right now. Depending on price of course... I hope out the door I'm looking at $47.5k-$48k for A8 / NPP / MRC, but if it's closer to $50k-$51k out the door, I'll probably look very, very hard at 1-2 year old C7's.

[addisonpeterson]

I will! I don't know if it will be a 16' per se but maybe a 17 or 18.

Yeah if your talking out the door meaning taxes included you will be looking at over $51k for a 2SS vert with auto, MRC and NPP.

My 2013 had a sticker just under $48000, but there was a huge price increase between coupe and vert. I heard the gap won't be as bad, so my guess the 2016 I'm looking at will have a sticker of $49900. The only option I will get over what I have is the Magride. But I also don't have the RS extra which is on mine. So if it comes under $50000 I will be happy.

I'm planning on one but it depends on the dollars. Wanting A8, NPP, MRC. If the extra for the convertible is too much, I don't have a major problem getting the coupe.

im considering it

[Suntan]

I'm looking at a Red Hot+Kalahari+Vert+8A+NPP+MRC for either 2016 or 2017. I usually avoid 1st year runs (from my experience with bimmers). Decision will also depend on price.

[blahzay]

I will be for sure.

My guess will be a 2SS convertible will be pushing $55,000..........sticker.

Today, without any special editions or wheel packages, the convertible is $48,000. They've added a few grand already for the 1SS and the convertible has added a much more expensive (and much nicer) roof system with power tonneau. So low $50,000 is very much in play.

For me, I need to see if you can get golf clubs in the trunk with the top down. Otherwise it's a no go.

But I am intrigued by the Gen6 convertible. It's more upscale for sure.

If this is true, what are the chances that people jump ship and move to Stingray's? I mean, all the coupe's have the removable targa, and at $55k I can find quite a few 2014-2015 Z51's for sale, all with less than 10k miles. Now I know buying used can be a crap shoot, but a 1-2 year old car still under warranty... and I'd consider it quite an upgrade overall.

I'm torn, I was really set on the 2SS 'vert, but feel I'd be doing myself a disservice by not looking hard at the C7. I don't have kids at home (anymore) and it would just be for me, and Wifey when we go out together, so I'm not worried about it being just a 2 seater. I think that folks in more of my age (45) group and older would feel the same... maybe?

Am I alone in this?

No you aren't alone. For me, if the price of a convertible 2SS went over 50k, I'd be considering a Corvette. But keep in mind the equivalent to a 2SS in content would run you $65,000 for the Corvette (without checking pricing). But just the same, the question will get asked by some.

And I'm sure GM has also considered that as well so I imagine the pricing will be held to keep that from happening too often. But it will happen.

"heyyyyyyy, for a few thousand more I can get a 2LT with Z51........"

Right.

For stuff like the HUD, I don't care about, and MRC I think I could live without on a C7... as the Z51 suspension is improved already. Not sure I'd miss the PTM, as I'm not a track guy. I just want a V8 sports/muscle/pony car. I've been looking specifically at 2015 A8 Z51 1LT's right now, and they seem to be sitting around $55-60k. So if a 2SS 'vert A8 MRC NPP stickers at say, $52.5, with USAA and supplier pricing... I'm still maybe looking at sub-$50k selling price. Is $5k more worth getting a slightly used C7...

Personally for me, until performance numbers come out, the answer to that question is "not sure, yet". I'm just glad I'm not alone in this.
