While I don't agree with many of his points as to why it's still going to be an old man's car, I do think that pricing is pretty much 90% of the equation. If it was 40k brand new, a lot more youngins would be able to purchase it regardless of their marital status, how many kids they got at home or what they thought of the C3.

The Corvette is not made for the masses. Average Joe can't have a Corvette at 26. I'm 26, and I'm driving a 13-year-old Firebird when I would clearly prefer a new Camaro.
Purchase price
should distinguish the Corvette from other cars. It competes with elite exotics at various trim levels, so it doesn't make sense to produce it for everyone to own. The Corvette is a halo car. It should be a car that someone works toward owning.
