[Karrmann]

I have been wondering about the price. i like it when I can learn info without asking .

[Ferrari Tifosi]

Thanks for the information Mr. Vette. The prices seem more than reasonable for what you are getting with this new Vette.

[henk4]

expect European prices in the order of 80,000 Euro, or roughly 100k US$.

[Karrmann]

Hello!!!!!

[drakkie]

well, i think it will be about 80-90k euro in the netherlands anyway.I dunno how much tax they do on new cars elsewhere in europe

[Falcon500]

Now hows that flasher newer car and you get $200 off the price of the old one
Though i dread to think the cost of one here in australia...probly 90-100k au

[Coventrysucks]

A grey import C5 Z06 costs £50,000 = roughly $90,000
If Chevy started officially importing them to the UK, through the Vauxhall dealership network, you could probably add another $10 - 20,000.

Hopefully they will produce a rhd version for the UK and the Antipodeans.

The C5 is a well kept secret, and if the C6 is as good as people say it is, they might be onto a winner.
However, US cars traditionally don't do well over here, and quality is a big sticking point.

[MrVette83]

Well, I'm not going to come right out and make any promises that fit and finish in the new C6's will be flawless but from the C6's I've been in and had time to look at I can tell you it is considerabely better than the C5.

Bloody Yanks -
You don't pay enough for any car, let alone a C6
Wake up and smell the aliphatic hydro-carbons -
Considering Australia's and US's average wage/salary - it takes about 18 months to earn the equivalent of the cost of a C6.
In Oz a Monaro costs $55K to $60K - similar to a C6 - and what do you get?
In the US a GTO costs $30K -

Bloody Yanks -
You don't pay enough for any car

It would appear the UK may get that rarest of American sportscars the Cadillac Corvette.

Cadillac Europe are considering whether to set up a UK dealership network, selling the rhd CTS, lhd XLR, SRX and Corvette.

Hopefully it will be better than the last time they tried this, selling the old STS at twice the price of the US. Unsurprisingly that hateful turd of a car didn't sell well.

Are they gonna sell an XLR and a Corvette side by side? Both with the Cadillac name?

[Coventrysucks]

I don't know if the Corvette will be badged as a Cadillac, but it will probably positioned above the XLR.

I don't think they'll be able to sell many of their lhd cars, not when you have a wealth of cars equal to or better already with rhd.
