The 2012 Chevy Corvette's price tag is getting a hike of between $480 to $1,790 depending on the model, and trim level or options check box, according to the bowtie-bedecked Jake skull-lovin' power fiends at Corvette Blogger.mkbruin promoted by Cool Cadillac Cat a.k.a. C³ -
Apparently, most people forget that the interior has been VASTLY improved for 2012. My guess is that's a large reason for the hike. Not to mention general inflation that we are experiencing, as well as increased commodity/materials pricing.
I expected better than what all those below decided to bellow.

People have to bitch about something. They either complain about the lousy interior or the price increase. The possibility of the 'Vette having a nice interior and the Mustang getting an IRS causes much nervousness among the internet nattering nabobs of negativity.
Inflation? What inflation?! The economic recovery is doing awesome, dude, and we'll have full employment in no time, after the feds remove all the impediments to business like regulation and shit!

I've yet to meet one person who truly believes the economy ever recovered from the first body blow a few years back. Double-dip my ass. To re-dip, you must make it out of the first one.
It's not a depression, it's not a depression, it's not a depression.....
If all that money went into interior fit and finish... IT'S WORTH IT!

We may not have 'recovered' to the greedy loan crazed prosperity we had prior to the recession, but we have not been in a recession since the summer of 2009. Count that, it's been two years. To double dip would mean to go back into a recession.

I hear you cool cad, I see no proof of the economic recovery unless you'r a frikken bank
No, it depends on how you work the numbers. In all honestly, the depression we're in started back around '02, when people were making a living "flipping" houses and using equity as a bottomless piggy bank. Sure, the pain was put off for a while, but it will be deeper and longer.
We all know unemployment is much higher than the "official" numbers state. Economic growth is stagnant. Wages are, at best, stagnant, and just because the economy isn't getting worse at a faster rate does not equal "recovery".
I call utter BS on any claim the 'recession' ended in 2009. Just because statistics show something doesn't mean it's reality.
