House virtually paid off, interest rates at record lows...
Extend the mortgage and let’s buy the car we dreamed of growing up.
Guarantee, it’ll be the same demographic of buyers as Mustang has been, except, this time, from the other side of the fence!
And who’s to feckin argue?... An absolutely gorgeous looking car!
You could be right as it is definitely a GM halo car but there is a big difference in the price point of the Vette compared to the Mustang, I’m guessing if the price comes in at the higher end of $150K that will shut out a lot of enthusiasts where the Mustang really hits the sweet spot of affordability.

For those that are cashed up and willing to spend it on a motor vehicle, they’ll end up with a fantastic car for the price and I hope you’re right and they go like hotcakes as the second hand market will be the place to grab one when the updated models come out.
