And hey, maybe when a used C7 is available for $39k I'll switch.
But I think there's a big market for us normal guys who don't need all that racing awesomeness. The best selling C7 would have less tech, lesser performance, and start at $41k. It would still be a bit faster than the SS, not as fast as the ZL1, but it would look just like any other C7. That's my opinion.

Even $39k is a lot of money. Put yourself in the shoes of a newly successful college graduate who has gotten their first "real" job. They're going to be paying college loans for the foreseeable future, and they might still be driving the car they had when they were 16 years old. I'd say that hard worker deserves a moderate sports car. This is what GM is missing. GM needs a car slated below $30k that people can afford to buy before reaching 25 years of age. Of course, import automakers are the only ones taking that segment seriously, offering products like the Impreza, BRZ/FR-S, tC, Civic, and other assorted imports with various sport trims.
