Default Will we know prices, options, detailed specs tomorrow?

Will the dealers and the public know prices, specs, option packages etc tomorrow night?
When will that knowledge be made available?

Probably not. They will give some details, but don't expect them to spill all of the beans. Information will still be gradually released as we draw closer to the cars release.

I don't think much will be released. GM marketing will wait to see how this model is received by the public before they start releasing accurate pricing.

Option packages and prices typically aren't announced until mid May.

They might announce a base price to get attention, and they'll highlight some cool options, but if you're hoping to populate that Excel spreadsheet so you can work out exactly which options you can afford, you'll have to wait until Spring.

No way will they announce pricing - probably not until June. Options and packaging maybe, but more likely to just announce major "features" that will be available on the car.

Do you think they will give horsepower and performance info?

If not that and not pricing I wonder what they will talk about.

I am thinking HP/TQ figures but no weight. Features, new interior and some stuff on the chassis.

My dealer said Monday he will have a lot of information but no prices. His Chevrolet representative gave him this information.

I'd think you'd be able to guess fairly accurately...

take the C6 base - option it out to the max and there is your "general" range of what you might pay. I just did a quick base C6 with all the options and came up with 64K including their 2000 cash back bonus.

Thats MSRP of course for a C6 which nobody pays these days. Of course with a new generation you WILL be paying MSRP (or more) depending on how scarce they are.

My bet is you will see the base price going from very high 50's all the way to the low 70's depending on how many crazy options they have.

Usually pricing is the last to come out, ordering and RPO info more than likely late March to early May, so as stated Major features only. If more than that it would be the first time more than that was released in many decades.

Worse than that. Typically, if there are some major changes in equipment, you can order a car in the very beginning of pre-production, and not really know the prices until quite a bit later. Weeks, actually, five or six not being unusual. In the past, you always have the right to cancel the order or get a deposit back if it's more than you wanted to pay (or estimated that it might cost by prior year's prices).

The dealer I have been talking to says pricing should come early summer. I expect tech specs to come soon.
