2020 Corvette

Honestly, being sold out doesn't surprise me at all. I would bet that the selling price is close to what it costs to build. I am guessing that they are pricing it starting at ~$60K to get every one sold right away and will recoup more of the development costs with higher priced models as well as future sales. Brilliant move in my opinion.

I relayed this information to a friend and his response was that this was based on a totally refundable $5000. deposit ? Claims it is a clever marketing ploy ?

Reminds me of me placing my order for the 2010 SS camaro during tue initial ordering period. At that time Many cool options were available with no pricing.

Ordered the car with headers, perf exhaust, short throw shifter etc..

GM waited a month any then announced that nearly every option I wanted would be available as an accessory but not from the factory and my car was immediately placed on constraint.

I was told that the RPO content at roll out was a marketing campaign to get as many confirmed orders as possible right away.
