I checked my local Chevy dealer and they have some bare bones SS 6th gens on the lot and the cheapest is around $46,000.
I don't care how much "better" the car is than the previous gen, Chevy has made it too expensive for a significant portion of Americans. Also there seem to be a lot of little issues with this being the first year of the 6th gen and all.
I ended up buying a 2015 1LE from my dealer last month instead of the 6th gen. It had 2SS, RS, Dual Mode etc and paid $39,000 out the door. I can't even imagine what the 2017 1LE is going to cost. My bet is 55-60 grand. Wait and see. |
You are exaggerating a bit on prices. The '17 1LE will NOT be an $18-23k OPTION (on top of the 1SS - only way it's offered). Also, if your dealers has $46k cars on the lot, they are far from bare bones. Your comparing prices of 6th gen camaros with options not even offered on the 5th gen to make a point on the price.
With that said, I was hoping the base 1SS would come in closer to $35k than $37k, but the step up from the 5th gen is huge in terms of performance & interior.
Congrats on the 1LE purchase.. that's my favorite 5th gen.
