It appears that these new prices are the actual prices that GM has planned to sell the car at all along. They only kept the prices down initially for marketing/promotional reasons. Here is the exact quote from Dave, a sales representative at Kerbeck Corvette:
"This price increase has nothing to do with rebates. This is the price that they thought the car should sell at but they wanted to get a big splash in the press for an incredible car for under $52,000. It was great marketing but the demand can definitely justify the price increase at this point so they did it. Also, if they decide to raise the price in 2015, the increase will be judged off of these new base prices, not the original which would like a much larger jump. Again, great marketing!"
