Essentially the car was the same price it was from beginning to end, adjusted for inflation.
I suspect what may happen is what happened with the C7. The initial price was low enough to keep sticker shock away and keep true to the idea that if you could afford the Gen 5, you can afford the Gen 6. However, in order to meet the profits that "new GM" wants..they're going to creep the MSRP up to the point where by 2018 a 1SS will be right at, or just under, $40,000 to start.

Using an inflation calculator, the 34K 2SS in 2010 (his number) would be $37.3K in 2016.
