I read this yesterday, but no explanation beyond “keeping it more exclusive.” I doubt $2k is going to do anything to its exclusivity.

> Base price on the Stingray coupe has jumped to $53,000, the convertible to $58,000. That’s an increase of $2,000 for each body style. If you want a Z51 pack on your car, it’ll now cost $4,000 instead of $2,800.

I keep seeing a bunch of these downtown. And…

> The American automaker says 40 percent of Stingray buyers are opting for the manual transmission while the rest of the buyers are going for the six-speed paddle-shift automatic. Next year, Chevy will be adding an eight-speed automatic as an option on the Corvette.

> In addition, the company has also revealed that 55 percent of its Corvette customers spring for the Corvette Z51 Performance package, which includes high performance brakes, black calipers, an aerodynamic enhancement package and a performance suspension. It also tacks on an electronic limited-slip differential and silver 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels.

That should be good news for the next round of guys to pick them up used a few years from now :tup:

> Jeremy Clarkson reviews the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible for The Sunday Times Driving

Jeremy Clarkson likes it :tup:

> Corvettes have always been good-looking but this one is a masterpiece. Yes, it has four huge exhaust tailpipes and a bonnet that’s more sculpted than the Himalayas. So I’ll agree it’s childish, but what’s wrong with that? The Lamborghini Aventador is childish. The Ferrari 458 Italia is childish. The Jaguar F-type is childish. And the Stingray looks as good as any of them. Better, in fact, from some angles. It’s one of the most beautifully proportioned cars I’ve seen.
> 
> Under the skin it’s like a greatest-hits album. Because what Chevrolet has done is to take all of what’s good from the best of Europe and Japan and put it in its car. It has the same sort of unpronounceable suspension and electronic differential that you get in Ferraris, the same sort of throttle-blipping technology that you get in a Nissan 370Z, the same sort of head-up display that you get in a BMW M5 and a system that shuts down half of the cylinders when they’re not needed. The same as you get in a Bentley.
> 
> But, that said, it has some things you won’t find in any European car. The touchscreen display, for instance, will slide down at the press of a button to reveal a hidden cubbyhole that is easily big enough for a Bible and a small pistol.
> 
> Clarkson’s verdict ★★★★☆
> 
> Yup, Americans can make sports cars
