New corvette

[VEN©M]

Would love one! Just can't see it being £60k here even for the base model. If chevy manage to keep the price within reach it could start them on a path to salvation after their abysmal UK market entry attempts.

No deal brexit drives up the price of German scrap, USA trade deal means cheap corvettes and demons.

Sounds like a Corvette should

The latest C8 Corvette has really struck a chord with the motoring world. Its mid-engined layout, similar to that of McLaren or Ferrari, has been a major talking point, with die hard fans questioning whether or not it detaches the car from its rich heritage. Despite this, there’s no doubt that...

I like it, but its less Corvette and more Ferrari. This is how a Corvette should look.

One for every household and we are gonna get pump gas at 3 dollars a gallon. Tesco will stock Glocks on the stationery aisle. Or maybe beside the clocks.

Has there been a UK RRP released yet?

American "list" prices are never really the list price though, here a car is advertised as being £60k, that's what you pay, unless you get discount etc

There $60k is before tax, vat and whatever other fees they hide from the sticker

My biggest gripe when in America was nothing ever cost what it said it did...

But there will be a guaranteed UK import markup, can't see it being over £100k though

Yea in some states that 60k car could be 70k+ by the time you actually own it. In the likes of California you pay the state tax, then the district you buy the car in can tax you again

California probably has a non-Prius tax as well.

Sounds a bit like VRT.

It's why so many supercar owners set up 'fake' a company in Montana and register their cars there 0% sales tax

The max sales tax (state and county) in CA is 10.5%, most are lower (mid 8s). There's literally tons of incidentals added on to the sticker price of a new car but a $60k car won't come in over $70k, maybe close in the highest state tax states..? haven't checked in a while. I always factored the total to be in and around 10% above sticker when looking in CA.

Finally saw one of these new C8 corvettes the other day.

Anyone else think the back end looks like it’s a bit melted? The engine’s in the rear, and I think the body panels might be plastic…

Where they failed was they tried to keep some design que's from the FR Corvettes and it didnt translate well. They should have gone with a completely new design language for the MR car. The last good rear end was the C6 IMO which still has the iconic circular lights

Yeah I think the C6 is by far the best looking contemporary corvette. I drove in Las Vegas the year they first came out.
