I'd like to see this be an industry trend!
----- Chevrolet said happy holiday to its legion of Corvette lovers when it announced unexpectedly lower prices for the all-new 2005 Corvette coupe and convertible that go on sale this fall.
Prices will start below those of the 2004 models, despite the addition of a more-powerful 400-horsepower engine and other new standard features.
The coupe version of the sixth-generation Corvette will have a recommended price of $44,425, including destination charges, when it debuts this fall. The 2004 has a base price of $44,635. The new 2005 base model includes a six-speed manual transmission that was a $915 option on the 2004 model.
Convertible prices start at $52,245. That's up from $51,635, but the addition of the six-speed manual transmission reduces the price by $305 versus a comparable 2004 convertible.
