Yeah, invoice plus rebates.

New C7 will be MSRP, maybe over that depending on demand.

After seeing the C7 in person I have to admit I like it a bit better but still don't like the b-pillar window.

Damn that C7 Corvette is a real looker

I do have a question though:
In the video, the car is equipped with a stick-shift/Manual Gearbox...........but I saw that the steering wheel has paddle shifters?

With the manual transmission, I believe the paddles are used to defeat the automatic rev matching if you want to heal and toe yourself rather than let the car do handle it for you.

Looks very close to present or past colors.
Love the Vette except for the Camaro type taillights.
Would have preferred round lenses.

Agreed....round taillights are a long-standing Corvette tradition, with a couple of exceptions here and there.

LEDs are getting popular because they use very little energy.
