I am a believer that it will not be much more than the current model and I've been saying that for a long time. I don't know for sure though.
My guess is that it will be somewhere between $65k and $70k. A base A8 C7 is $58,995 right now. $10k more than that would not be a shock to me.

I agree, but I think $10k more would be a little high. I am sure that Chevy knows they are taking a big risk changing the Covette formula by going mid-engine. I am sure there are folks that will not buy it just for that. Then, rumors are that it will not have a manual trans available (at least to start), which will chase a few more potential buyers away. If they add a high price, they might chase the rest of the potential customers away...
So, MY speculation is pretty much the same as Lutz's. Just a few thousand more model per model.
