$2000 Corvette Price Increase on GM Canada Build & Price Web Site

[2MCHFUN]

I was just on the GM Canada web site and noticed that the price for a 2015 Corvette had increased by $2000 from when I ordered mine on March 3/15.
There does not appear to be any increase in the US price on Chevrolet.com.
Has anyone heard of an official announcement of a Canadian
price increase?

GM Canada C7 price increased $2k from my March order.

1LT base $54445 > $63995

Interestingly, neither Porsche nor BMW have raised their prices on Caymans or M3/4's yet. While the C7 is the better car, I don't know that the perception of the general buyer has reached the point of accepting the vette at the same price level.

Different buyer. One buys domestic, the other buys import.

When I got my C5 Z06 I took the lease approach that is suggested above. I leased mine.

At the time I bought it I could not afford to lay out all the cash for it, don't forget in 2003 the Z06 was more expensive that the current C7. I probably paid too much if you calculated interest and all the related expenses of a lease but it was my only option.

I knew I would buy the car at the end of the lease. It worked for me strictly based on what I could afford for monthly payments. A number of thing got tossed in that I did not foresee (health/work issues) but I have never regretted the decision even though I went for a more than an entire year and did not drive it. I would not own the car today if it had not been for the lease option.

I've owned five cars in my life... never once considered a domestic. My only allegiance is to best value for the money... so a C7 it is.

I waffled last year when I was offered a vehicle for the end of July, debated because of the price increases that seemed to be coming regularly. Good decision in hindsight as I had considered waiting until this spring. Probably saved me $12k.

Edit - I priced the exact same car today on the Cdn Chev website, mind you GM gave me some discounts beyond the norm but that same car today is $12,825 higher before tax this year. Wow !
