It happens with every hot new car.... the car releases and it's amazing and special and you have to have it. Then a few years later you don't turn your head at 20 of them sitting outside the local dealer covered in dirt and pollen. The C8, one day, will just sit on dealer lots like it's no big deal.

Yep, geared towards six figure cars, here's one example: https://en.bhmotorcars.com/financing.php
To some? Absolutely. Chrysler makes a killing off selling cars to people who probably can;t afford them except with long terms. The boat industry already defaults to 15 year, we had no choice in term when we bought our pontoon, they told us to simply pay it off faster if we wanted.
Oh, and my comment on the original question: Corvettes are already fairly ubiquitous. No biggie.

Dude, they are everywhere. Corvettes are not anywhere close to a rare car. Now, a ZR1 is obviously different and is not what is being discussed. The discussion is about C8 in general, I shouldn't have to explain this to you but it is not surprising.

Corvettes are popular for a multitude of good reasons and are hardly "a dime a dozen" as you seem to think. This is a very dickish thing to say to Corvette owners on their #1 entusiasts site.

Here in the Northeast USA, Corvettes are very unpopular. I go days, sometimes a week or two without seeing one. SUV’s everywhere, but few Corvettes. I’m not worried about being perceived as driving a “dime a dozen” automobile.

Today's manufacturing job situation in America may be a tad different than most think it is.
