You are joking right or don't you pay attention to gobal economics? China's exploding with high income people and the entire world is going after these new luxury buyers. To say the corvette market is the US is just ignorant of the dynamics taking place around the world today.
Just what is the AVERAGE age of a Corvette buyer today? I believe it is 62. That is a dying market share and GM knows it. Look at Harley, exact same demographics.
Corvette can't survive, much less grow when the customers are almost exclusively baby boomers.
Thats Econ 10.

I explained it many times ,please except it ...
The primary market is the 65-70k market.
They cater to us first....
This primary market gets first dibs .They always have,
We are great customers,don’t complain much and we buy on impulse.
After we’re served ,they serve everyone else...

Probably because of all of the posts like this comparing it to the Fiero as well.
I think the only way we see the car at that price point is basically no watered down version with a push-rod motor and standard brakes and tires. Just because the mules have been spotted with them does not prove the car will come with those brakes and tires for example. We don't know what engine(s) are in the mule, and really the only videos where you can really hear the car (the Ring videos), I'm not 100% sure what type of engine was in the car and it may not matter to GM, depending on what they were testing there.
The price point thrown out by the OP could only be explained if they are going to continue building a FE car, likely the C7, for a couple more years while a C8 car (FE) is developed which is evolutionary to the C7. I would not be at all surprised to see this ME not called (or referred to as) a C8, but as Z1.
That price point also will mandate a serious improvement in the quality and fit and finish, especially the interior. The C7's interior upgrade option finally moved the needle in the right direction, but more is needed, especially at the price point that's been thrown out by Zerv02.
EDIT: Note, I am not saying I buy the price point the OP threw out, or agree with it. I can see the argument both ways.

Zerv are you part of the forum and basically a version of Click Bate throwing out crazy post to generate more talk?

Man this is now talking stupid money. Price point is extremely important for the Corvette, and when they are knocking on the door of exotic prices, it's not gonna end well.
This can't be real.

16 Vettes and counting…..
Excuse me if I have decided not to use you as an "authority" on this topic. I have yet to see you offer anything of substance except for an abundance of 3rd grade comments directed at those you disagree with.
You self annointed superior intellectuals that exist only online crack me up.

You mean as opposed to all that "substance" the OP offered?
And if I "exist only online," who's the guy that's been sleeping with my wife? Another brilliant, well thought out comment from McDummy. The inmates are officially running the asylum with this goofy thread.

They sold like 1k of those things. We’re talking about a massed produced car that they want to sell 20k+ a year.

I say hogwash. At that price GM will sell only one thousand 'vette's, and that simply isn't GM's business model.
