Exactly. Dealers, even if they know, aren't going to spill the beans, they want to sell cars now, not tomorrow. I knew the new 5.0 was coming pretty early in 2009, and lots of forums and such were talking about it. Plus the 4.6 was going to have some issues meeting the newer emissions standards, so they had to change something soon. I at the time had a 5th gen, and wasn't happy with it's overall performance and was chomping at the bit for the new Coyote to hit the streets. But it's time, it is nearing replacement, as the LT1 is calling me.

The average Corvette buyers age will never come down all that much, as most younger people can not afford to spend at least $60K or so on a car that in most cases is not a daily driver. Price is very relative to average buyers age in most cases I would tend to think...

Exactly. If they can attract 100 new buyers every year, that's about a 1% lift in sales volume (assuming they don't lose buyers). If they also lower the average age by a few years, then they may get a few more that buy multiple vettes.

Lower the Corvette price and make it affordable, the upper-crust buyers will move on to something more exclusive....It won't be expensive enough to be desirable....It's a catch-22. |

That's all they can fall back on to justify there Mustang purchase. They know the SS mops the floor when it come to performance, so they need a excuse. So they use small back seats, the interior is better on mustang, price, ugly, feels like your in a bunker, and the 5.0 is still a better engine. It just makes them feel good that they can still bash the Camaro.

Who buys one of these cars giving a rats ass about how big the back seat is? If you want a big back seat and an American performance car buy a V8 Charger...
