Hoping C7 will cause C6 prices to drop! (Merged)

I feel this will not effect C6 pricing for some time, and may help pricing. The C7 is Quite a car and will get great attention, out the box. Anyone who can not afford a brand new one will look at the C6 which is a great car. It will take at least a year to see what used C7s will demand.

What it means is more C6's finding their way into the 20's. Around here it seems C6's are really inflated, 2007 and 2008 base models still asking mid upper 30's......which is a joke, guess people don't mind holding on to them right now. Looking forward to more c6 trade ins and a better used market. Later this year.

Latest and greatest will always appeal to folks who want a status symbol (and that's totally valid), but the question is, what will the average "Dad next door" do, a guy who just really like corvettes?
I haven't read anything about how the ergonomics yet--the roof is lower, but what about the seats or door sills? Anyone know if they're harder to get out of? ... Also, any consumer / demographic data on who tends to buy a base coupe over a 'vert or z?
I agree with folks waiting to hear how it drives; if the folks at Car & Driver are blown away, it'll increase the pressure to sell c6's.

a c6 at $35k depending on mileage / condition / options,used, will still be the best bang for our bucks..IMO
