"Have you considered the unintended consequences IF GM were foolish enough to follow your suggestion? (i.e.169k may be too cheap for the "statement" halo car GM is planning to introduce) For the few folks who would buy the C8, it would mean the end of jobs at Bowling Green, closing the plant and no doubt Mary Barra being fired by the Board for such a foolish decision.

The Corvette formula has been in place for 60+ successful years, why muck with it?

Hmm, just posted the comment below on another Thread responding to someone that wants the C8 to be even more expensive than $169k! Must have a lot of Forum members who are <25 living at home!

But then again all those under 25, still living at home, who agree with you but have no money to buy one, will have a large C8 poster on their bedroom wall so they can tell all their friends, "See GM can beat the best!" "

My generation has been handed crippling education, housing, and healthcare costs and somehow we are constantly classified as lazy P.O.S.
I'm 27 - I make 6 figures and I own a house in southern California..
So yeah I think that statement is pretty arrogant and rude

No one ever doubted that ZERV had a buddy that showed him the actual car.
It's all the other stuff that is clearly way off base.
I suspect he has a GM friend, and that's cool, but inside info is limited.

They're already selling a very decent amount of $140K Corvette's! And again, the Corvette is the GM's Flagship and not the Cadillac!! You can see Cadillac through your rose colored glasses from the 60 & 70's, but those glory days are gone! Maybe they'll be back one day but there is a huge hill to climb and every time they try rot climb it they fall back down.

Yep if my youngest granddaughter (who just graduated Scripps College where daughter graduated then worked as and did her oldest, the one with my Great Grandson) read my post she would say the same and look for a safe place!
Although I understand this PC stuff and try to be careful, the world is a tough place and what I joked about is certainly true for some and minor to what will be encountered in life! It was said to provide a business perspective on why even a $105,000 entry level Vette is NOT a logical thing for GM to produce and why it won't happen.
When an early teen I had posters of cars on my wall as well of cars I could not afford!

Sorry bud, but that is life. You can't even imagine a world without smart phones and internet. You are growing up in the best of times. You wouldn't even know how to survive before the 90's. So, I'd hope you are making 6 figured by the time you are 27. You have the world at your finger tips. Move it along.
All I did was go on the internet and magically I got my job and house
Amazing times we live in!

You must be new

Yes, I know, living in the age of the internet makes up for the fact of crippling healthcare, education, and housing costs. Your generation could buy a house and support a family with a high school education.

Yougsta. You still don't get it. You haven't been "left" with skyrocketing costs. That's like me blaming my parents for leaving us with $.80 gas when they paid .05 for their gas back in the 50's. Guess what? When you have kids and you are in your 40's and 50's, gas will be $5 if not more, then they will blame you for it. That is the cycle of life. Fk. Dealing with you kids is something else. Still blaming others. If anything, it's our generation that gave you the ability to make 6 figures at the age of 27.

Adjusted for inflation, wages have not moved for the past 30 years.
Adjusted for inflation, healthcare, education, and housing have gone thru the ceiling
Jobs have left to go overseas thanks to our excellent trade deals (sarcasm)
Those are facts. If you don't agree on these basic set of facts, then you are wasting my time debating with me.
So yes, my generation has been dealt ****
You must have some some high quality weed
I'm done commenting on this thread and arguing with a bunch of monkeys
Complete waste of my time
