Exactly right. I've noticed this, as well. Some reviews I've been reading mention it but only as a very brief aside. As if to say "that's not the one you're going to purchase, come on, now." šŸ˜‚
Well, it's easy for a lot of these guys to say "spend", when it's someone else's money, lol.

$60,900. Almost zero change in MSRP.
Looking at the Corvette's price increase pattern this is completely normal. It almost always goes up by a little every year, something like a few hundred to about a grand.

Price given was for the 2019 and then 2020 ā€¦covid didnā€™t start until end of 2020ā€¦.and then there is the two year waitā€¦if your lucky
$60,900 is the current 2022 MSRP (US). It's barely gone up since the C8 went on sale and is barely more than the last year C7.

The COVID-19 pandemic began in late 2019. The C8 Corvette entered the market as a 2020 model with an MSRP of *just* under $60,000 ($59,995) and has only increased in price to $60,900 as of the 2022 model year. This car has always been a product of the pandemic environment.

So from 2019 to 2022 it went up 10%
You realise for the last yearā€¦perhaps two Nissan dropped the price of the 370Z substantially to get rid of old stock right?

Moving from a C7 to a C8 is SO MUCH MORE of a significant change that warrants WAY more than a 10% increase just between the models than moving from a Z34 to an RZ34 shooting up to $50 fucking grand. The Corvette's price has ZERO to do with COVID inflation and everything to do with innovation.

Price on the 370Z hasn't dropped that I've seen, which still has nothing to do with the sharp increase for the new Z.

It's 100% unwarranted.

At 51k I'm definitely out. It was so high on my list initially because of the manual option and the potential to heavily undercut the Supra, but those two advantages have since faded away. It doesn't help the Z when I see all the buttons and switchgear being the same as the G35 I had back in the day, especially when I'm supposed to believe it's worth 51k.

so I've been on and off about this car and early this year ordered a Miata Club at MSRP (~32k). I wanted a convertible anyway. The Sport Trim at 40k is a really good deal IMO but I know I wouldn't be able to get one at sticker. when the IS500 came out at 56k starting point I don't think I have ever seen one without a premium package pushing the price to 62k+, wonder if that will be the same here..

For another reference, according to "Car And Driver" MSRPs, the base Subaru BRZ (USD) pricings (with percent changes):
2019: $26,680
2020: $29,745 (11.5% increase from previous model year)
2021: (not in production)
2022: $28,990 (2.5% decrease from previous model year)
2023: $29,615 (2.1% increase from previous model year)

2019 - 2023 span price change: (11% increase)


Comparing same for 370Z to Z (again using "Car And Driver" MSRPs):
2019: $31,015
2020: $31,040 ( 0.08% increase from previous model year)
2021: (not in production)
2022: (not in production)
2023: $39,990 (28.8% increase from previous model year)

2019 - 2023 span price change: (29% increase)


(Feel free to check my math on the above, I'm not good with calculations, lol.)
(edit: corrected per Kbl911)

I'm calculating nearly a 29% price jump:
31,015 x 1.28937 = 39,990 (approximately)

Ok so..Iā€™ll give up trying to justify it ( other than to say in Aus tye 370z dropped significantly over the years) and sayā€¦donā€™t buy it thenā€¦.plenty of us still will

about 8.8% per year from 2020-2023 if assuming equal increases

The only thing I'm worried about is if/when my dealer will let me order the one that I want and that it'll be here sometime before I retire haha.
