i dont see it being too far off the current gen which currently starts around $55k.
Exactly. And the C7 had $10k incentives within 18 months of launch. This is the no mans land of sports cars. The Corvette will be faster, the Cayman/Boxster will be wildly more composed and fun to drive and lease returned F Types, 911's and AMG GT's will be wildly tempting too.

They should have just made this car a better thought out GT86 with a hybrid I6 setup and 400+ hp to compete with the $35k-$45k Mustang GT and Camaro SS. Pricing it above that will just lead to the same quick fizz out the overpriced and heavy Mk4 had. 12-18 months of decent sales and then crickets and incentives.
