I hope the C8 will be sold here, so people could start to see how overpriced the 911’s are becoming. But it would never sell in big numbers over here, they just don’t have the dealer network the others have. And when you do find one, their showroom is filled with rebadged Daewoo crapboxes. enlightened

Ford made a great effort to introduce and sell their latest Mustang and it sold well, keeping prices very attractive, publicity, bringing several models, etc... first time an American auto maker does this with one of their sportscars. GM would need to do the same with the Corvette, up until know they did nothing, no investment, crazy prices, etc coupled with the bad image the car has, and end result is many people never even seen one here.

So I hope they do the same as Ford did with the Mustang, the mid-engined C8 would be a great opportunity to do so, but from the likes of it doesn't look like it... a shame, if it sold well here it would make it more apparent how expensive Euro-sportcars have gotten, specially the 911, but the again Porsche always seems unfazed by any newcomer, as long as they sell like they do, they have no reason to lower prices.
