Now I'm sure the top dog version may be the most expensive Corvette we've ever seen. But why does the base version with a standard naturally aspirated V8 have to cost significantly more than today's 55 - 60K Corvette? Since it appears that the front engine Corvette might live on while the mid engine version comes online, perhaps the mid engine will be the premium, top end Corvette and expensive....only. But if GM plans to ever drop the front engine car, you can bet that cheaper, lower tier models will come, and they should fall right in line to about what you'd pay for a Corvette now days. (price inflation adjusted of course lol)

I have asked many times what makes everyone so certain a mid engine Corvette will be substantially more money than the C7, yet I have never received an answer.
I do not see Chevrolet abandoning the segment and losing out on the sales the Corvette generates. I see them advancing the Corvette brand.

Just think... the brand survived the 1975, 165 HP days to become a world class supercar. Amazing

Cadillac took that road because they thought it would make the brand more desirable. The Corvette is already desirable.

The problem with the Corvette is it seems 90% of them are driven 10 under the speed limit by old men. I know with ours people gave me a second look being under 50. It’s a shame. True enthusiasts will still want one, but too often I see men in their 60’s and 70’s in one. Maybe it’s a northeast & Florida phenomenon, the two areas I have the most time in. I don’t recall many Corvettes when living in Texas in the 90’s.
