Enmanuel:
I think it'll be a tricky change for them, 4trac really hit the nail in the head with his earlier comment:
Just, I don’t know who this car will be for - front engine traditionalists in the US will shun it even at the same price, which it will not be (expect 20-40% premium) and against Euro competition with decades of a head start in mid-engine dynamics it will clearly struggle to be seen as in the running.
It's very interesting. Living in KY there is a massive, massive population of Corvette owners here. They are almost all universally excited about a mid-engine Corvette, but they seem to be most excited about it being able to finally 'beat' some of the higher end sports cars from Europe not so much buying them. Corvette's always punch above their price point, but never quite come out on top. They think now with true mid-engine dynamics it will finally best some of it's higher priced competition. I have a friend who works on the drive train, and they seem very excited about that prospect.
GM most certainly has to be very careful about pricing. It will certainly be a premium, but too much of one and as 4trac stated they will struggle to sell them. Especially to their more traditional owner demographic.
