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.
