Corvettes are a great value vs their competition. They are not so affordable that your average Joe will be walking in and purchasing one on a whim instead of the Camry/ Accord that he was going to purchase.

I would have to agree. Some people could not wrap around the notion of spending 60k and up on an automobile. At one time it wasn't in my logic as well. However, as a car person, when you see an automobile that you (truly) want and it demonstrates that it is worth every penny of its asking price, then somehow you find ways to afford it.
The unfortunate part of this is, that in general, new car prices as a whole are a tad over what some may call affordable. Your average spending on a modest new car, after taxes, will be roughly at or near 30k (which itself was once a high number).
