I agree, there will be a lot of new vette bandwagoners 
All the people who are in the ignorant fast and furious generation will come in hoards.

The economy is fine. Certainly a million times better than it was in late '07 - early '08, a full year b4 Obama was inaugurated.
The problem is that the middle class has been on a steep decline since Bush II. The world is just different and US society is becoming more stratified than ever before. That's not good for car sales over $30K.

Nice car for $300,000
Not to be a wet blanket but could this just be a slower knock off of the exterior of the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, a 3500 pound 6.2 liter v12 211 mph car? In writing it's close enough a professor might start telling you you'd copied and you'd get an F on the originality of it.
Why have they not announced their Corvette product line? They ought to know by now if they will have a base, a mid and a high speed version or just the base and one high speed version wouldn't you think, and the details of them?
Something does not strike me as right and the idea of selling c7's at a rate of annually 40,000 seems like more than a real stretch to me.

C7 Stingray, nicer car for $60,000...
Then you can start talking ongoing maintenance...
Porsche is in a similar situation, both cost wise and maintenance.
Hard times have whacked North America and Europe.
The days of $300,000 cars are over.
Long live the C7 Stingray...

at one point you could get a base C6 for 38K. If it comes in at that number it will sell like hotcakes. At 55K the younger buyers are mostly out and anything above leaves only the rich buying the car.
I expect a higher price lower volume car that is in higher demand. It will exact a small profit and be a little more exclusive than before, which is a good thing.

Apparently it's much more important nowadays to be in control of messaging, than to actually have logical & honest policy that fixes problems.

You're on! NFW will 40k Vettes be sold in Obama's economy. I hope I am wrong, because I absolutely love the car and plan on getting one, although not right away.
1. Economy is flat, with high unemployment and no real effort to stimulate growth.
2. Taxes and withholding are up, disposable income is down.
3. Another Debt ceiling is just around the corner. The liberals just cannot contain their spending, which sooner or later will lead to serious inflation.
4. Now they're coming for your guns, which some say may lead to civil unrest.
5. A general Obamalaise is permeating the nation.
Happy New Year! Rickman

I think the "want" for the C7 will be high. With that said, I still highly doubt we will see 40,000 + being made per year anytime soon, if ever. 2008 has changed much! One need only look at the past 4 years of Corvette sales that have been the lowest in 50 years!
These low sales in spite of huge discounts, rebates and incentives.

I am not a physic but I really do think this C7 is the best looking modern Vette yet. We will be patient until end of year two to make a judgement but it might become the best selling Vette yet.
Those I have shown pictures and videos to love it. I know I'm on cloud 9.

I wish every years economy was like this years. My investments did so well that I can buy a C 7 and have just as much money left as I had in January 2012. I am not alone in my investment success.

100% right. These guys who are complaining are still living in the past few years and havent accepted that the economy is tons better in a number of ways. Housing starting to perk up, the stock market more than doubled, and things are looking better. They need to work on getting the deficit down, which the President it trying to do now.
