For 2015 yes, but not the 2014 that I've heard of.

GM usually has price increases in Dec/Jan time frame, being a new model don't see why it would be any different, actually thought they would have one before this. Z51 is a steal.

I don't think it would be a good move for GM to increase prices at this time. The Z06 will give them a higher profit per unit so I doubt they really need to raise prices

Really more politics? This is getting old. For those that want to talk politics there is a section for that.

Certain things transcend the C7 and the politics of it.

Pricing of the car is inseparable from the causes of it. I think that is all they were going for

Well let's hope price increase in 2015--just like anything prices go up. No more govt ownership needed. 2014 prices set. Wait until 15 for 8 speed.

Who would of thought that someday $61,550 is a good

Dealers will always tell you that a price increase is imminent. But, having said that, I still think, even with a modest increase, the C7 is a deal.


Cheers.

A price hike right now would be a bad idea, but hey G.M raised the price on the Silverado's when they weren't selling well.

Consumers rule!

Numerous off topic/political rants deleted. Take that to Off Topic > Politics. This is the C7 forum.

The people who are actually intelligent enough to understand the concept of inflation and realize the Corvette is as cheap as it's ever been.

I hope they don't raise the prices. Regardless it's still a deal.
