Re: Price $$$$$$ (Walford)
According to GMBuyPower.com, a fully-loaded 1SB convertible is $58,155, and commemorative edition is $58,990. That's over base prices of $51,535 and $55,235, respectively.
Considering the great increase in available options, I think a loaded C6 'vert could easily go for well over $60K, maybe even over $65K.
That kinda sucks. :sad:

Re: Price $$$$$$ (DavesC5)
Dang. Getting up there in $$$.
Depending on what GM wants to do with the vette...
1. Continue selling to the vette faithful. In which case this person will buy a vette no matter what and therefore the price can probably go to $60K. Volumes will pretty much remain the same as the C5 and maybe get a small bump with some "new" buyers.
2. Try to lure new buyers. In which case GM will have to show world class fit, finish and material quality but at a cheaper price relative to the competition (see Caddy XLR vs. Merc SL).
Personally, I think that a fully loaded C6 coupe should not be more than $52K retail. My reasoning is not wishful thinking either...since the Caddy CTS-V is priced right at $50K with pretty much the same components and quality. And even then, the Caddy buyer enjoys a better service experience (well...supposedly).
Here's GM's chance to get some new buyers into the fold. I hope they don't get greedy for short term profit vs. long term success.

Re: Price $$$$$$ (C6-XTSY)
Based on the available options I think a fully loaded coupe will be in the 55K range easy. Don't forget the tax either.
