Beautiful car and "spec"tacular....but when everyone can have one, everyone will have one. Good on GM for being able to pull this off, but releasing cars like this, at an affordable price point, is going to hurt the market overall I think.
I've seen too many drug/kingpin type movies to know that when you release an amazing product at a cheap price point, you end up with a target on your back. I don't foresee this lasting very long. There will either be catastrophic issues....or....I don't know, maybe I'm wrong and this will become the new standard. In my opinion, the safe bet is sit back, take notes and see how this plays out before jumping in.

Add to that every empty-nest baby boomer who has "always wanted a 'vette." Seems like they are always driving about 10 mph below the speeds of general traffic.  |
I'm good with that, it's one of the reason insurance rates on the Corvette are not typical sports car high.
