The Porsche analogy doesn't work. Chevrolet is the brand as is Porsche.

Please don't tell me that point was poorly thought out, and it's been the essence of the thoughtful concerns about sales and the future of the Corvette in an ME world. I happen to believe the ME will be offered in a range of $70K-ish to $150K-ish, and in that case I think it will do just fine.

There have been many thoughtful concerns about sales, which have been used to rebut those who seem to firmly believe it will start well north of $100K. It's future will be very much in doubt as an expensive "niche, halo car," which won't sell in sufficient volumes to survive long-term.

If C7 sales numbers are a reasonable barometer, which I believe them to be, 70% of sales were below $80K. The vast majority of folks aren't going to cross that barrier for a 2-seat sports car.

Halo cars like the Ford GT and Viper only appear on the scene for short runs and then disappear, perhaps making another brief appearance every decade or so..
