ummmm soooo about the price.....

https://carbuzz.com/news/c8-corvette...re-than-the-c7

base price just a touch above current C7 base price.

faster models will follow the Z06/ZR1 pricing as well.

soooo it'll be a bit more than regular vettes. i like it.

I am not sure what "automotive journalist" pulled the idea out of his *** that just because it is a mid engine it will cost as much as a supercar. That defeats the concept of the Corvette. Clickbaitin...

The MR2 and Fiero were pretty damn cheap!

Vettes sell because they are reasonably priced for a reasonably fast car. I think this will flop if they go way north of 100k on this one.

And mid engine....while it's great and all, it's just not a vette anymore. It's something else entirely.

I'm with the C2 guy here.

Add to that, Screw GM. After the taxpayers bail them out they have the nerve to shut down factories and move more production to Mexico rather than retooling those factories to make vehicles that sell.

Yes, my Z was built in Japan, but Nissan never claims to be an American company, and never took a dime of my tax money to stay afloat.

Yup, no speculation / rumours in the auto industry...

And everything that you read on the internet is gospel.

This some crazy ****. The current C7 ZR1 has so much acceleration and g's in the corners that it tricks on Star into thinking the car was in an accident while on track.

Here's some interior pics of the C8. The way it's set up. Looks to me their will be an EV model by the it's refresh time. Pretty soon. No engine powered vette?

Oooh. Looks very, um, Lexus. Only without the quality of the fit & finish.

Guess the mid engine Vette isn't going to be a sports car. More of a grand tourer. Too bad.
Also speaks to the price point you can expect.

I'm thinking that rather than jumping in on the ground floor of a totally new platform (seldom a good idea with a car, especially a North American one), I'd prefer to go for this:

This render is sick.... Me personally. I'd jump in the C8. They been working on it since the Camaro 5 concept. I'm not too worried.

Crazy that the LT2 is not functioning well in the new vette. I'm sure it will be difficult to cool that size v8 in this type of car and not sell it at R8 prices. Good luck Chevy.
