Price point is going to make or break this version. They have had enough performance for long time now. I liked the C7 except for the Camaro tail lights. I also like the looks of the C8 that we can see through the camo.
I do not think it will sell below 65K ( I hope I am wrong)as a New GM Pickup cost the same decked out. They are getting into the super car with the Mid Engine car. They were already knee deep but now they are getting their head wet as they say.
Steve this is a good question about the price of the Corvette. With so many different models hard to tell. I think the fastest one a ZR1 or something like that is north of 130 loaded. I just read a story from the fall on the price but can not remember what it said. Enough rambling I am thinking the new model will all start north of 100G with the ZR whatever they call it being close to 200G. You have to pay for the design work.
We had a warm spring day on Tuesday, the coolest thing I spotted was a Little Red Express truck on the way to lunch at 9pm. Too dark for a pick and I was driving. The kid riding along was clueless to what it was, he is 29. LOL
Most cars have there uses that are better then others. The problem for me is the insurance cost we have here in MI. Twice the Average rate her in the USA. So any money I would save on gas would go to plates and insurance for the year. So an extra car just to drive back and forth to work is out of the question.
I have meet a guy that had one. He is a truck driver and he drives his smart car to and from work. He likes it for that but said his Ford Festiva was better on gas.
Joe I had a 2012 Explorer 4x4 and loved that thing. 22mpg, but I needed a truck.
You have plenty of options as far as brand goes, so start looking for something in your price range you like.
Well said Chris.
We may not like all the rules here, but there is a reason they are in place. Over the my few years here Moderators have done a great job of keeping the peace.
If you get something and start making payment at say 500 a month ( for easy math) you will add up a few grand very fast. If you put 500 a month in the Jeep at what point do you stop? No wrong answer really.
You have a good start and a plan/direction you are headed. I think what you are doing is a good way to learn new tricks and ideas. You can always go back later and add an engine if you want to.
This style is called a Curbside. Hoods glued shut looking just like a car sitting by the curb.
