I think GM will fix Camaro its price in future again. They don't just give Corvette a fair price, GM also gives a decent price in brand new CT5.
And. I don't think C8 Corvette is good for daily driving and having decent cargo as its mid-engine design. Maybe, that is different case, but Ferrari has MR and FR both in their lineup. Ferrari doesn't kill 812 despite SF90.

Yes, people will buy a super car in base trim for $59,000 (Corvette base trim)vs a loaded SS or ZL1 By the way large dealerships are already taking deposits at window sticker (no makeup’s) in a year discounts will be out there so I think you are over inflating your prices just a bit. My buddy lives in Bowing Green and works at the Corvette Museum, he told me GM increased the size of the planet and added a second shift to keep up with demand. I don’t see an availability issues running up prices at any dealer once we get past the first year. I do agree you will be able to run the numbers up quick but dealers will keep entry level units around or do like I do I don’t mind waiting 5 to 6 weeks for an order. That’s what I did on the SS in 2017 to get what I wanted on it

First you go online and use the configurator, then at the end you get the option to pick a dealer, download the PDF and the configurator emails them your spec. Then the dealer contacts you (I got an email from Bill Buck within 12 hrs). Quote:

For those that wanted a ZL1 but, can't afford one, how are you going to buy the new C8? The same demographics apply to buying this new C8. As we have discussed here, many of the new generation could care less. It will be up to those with the income and upper mobility that can buy this car, like always.

You are correct, I was at a Corvette plant seminar and the majority of the Corvettes sold are Gand Sports and ZO6 models. I do think that base model will put it in reach of some of the Camaro owners. To be honest that really hasn’t changed from the past price structure . The base Corvette was already a mid $50,000 car but now it’s what you get for the money. It will be interesting to see how it effects the Camaro market.

I have a 2020 2SS vert on order. I called my dealership yesterday and asked if they could sell my Camaro and shift my deposit to the Vette. They agreed and did so. They have a 75 unit allocation for the Vette, 19 being delivered on the first round of deliveries (anticipated February time frame). I'm number 10 on their list. To say the least, I'm stoked!!

I don’t believe this Vette will have a significant impact on Camaro sales at all. There is too little crossover in the markets for each car. You can say the Vette is just as practical, or impractical, as the Camaro but that’s simply not true.
Many of us DD the Camaro, I drive my three younger kids to school in mine every day. My wife and I, and sometimes one of the kids, load up a gun cart, suitcase and 8-10 guns and go on road trips to shooting matches regularly. Try that in a Vette, ain’t gonna work. Yeah the price difference isn’t that great, I could afford the Vette, but I would have to buy another car and park the Vette to get to work every day. I would also have to park it on the weekends we do road trips. I think sales for this Vette will be poor, there are too many drawbacks. Purists will be put off by the fact that it’s such a departure from past Vettes. The lack of a manual transmission will turn off a significant subset. That horrendous row of buttons will turn off another subset. It’s a shame, I like the appearance, the performance they’re claiming and the mid engine design. But the buttons and the auto only are deal breakers for me. |

now you see why Porsche neuters its boxster, to keep the 911 as its halo car and not destroy sales for the cheaper car, but still 911s are more in demand

To me the C7 is the best-looking car ever. That being said the C8 is stunning, priced right and actually has usable trunk/storage space. If I can fit into one it might make it to my shopping list.
