We are marked up here a lot more than just the exchange rate. A C6 runs 70k Cdn or about $55,000 US. I believe the C6s are selling well below that aren't they?
$65,000 USD, plus options in the US. Remember, their car is more basic than ours, we will be the 2LZ, which is $67,900 USD, plus wheels and navigation.
I am guessing at $95,000 CDN plus options here.......
To get the appr. Can price take the 65,000.00 US Times Exchange (1.27) plus $ 5000.00 and youll be darn close.
87,550.00 plus dest. plus options. Mine will be 2LZ, VY, and U3U. $ 95,500.00 with Dest Charge. Unfortunately we also have to add 7% PST, 7% GST and 3% Lux Tax. for a grand total of $ 111,735.00.
Aint it great to be Canadian, and all the yanks are complaining at $ 65,000.00
I think we are looking right at $88-89k Cdn. Take a look at the US price on a full tilt convert = $63k US. Our full tilt Convert is $85k.
I think a C6 convertible is about $55K though, so the Z06 is $10k more. A vert here is about $80K...probably add $15K for the Z06, so I'm guessing about $95K. What's interesting is that $65K US is about $81K CDN. GM are you listening? If you price it $90K+, there will be people importing them from the US. In fact, there was an article in the Toronto Star this weekend on how to go about doing just that.

Hope you're right. If GM Canada decides to gouge us again, I can see buyers heading south. GM is in enough trouble without insulting buyers north of the 49th parallel.
For a variety of reasons, I'll be happy to wait until the 2nd year of production.
Heading south is not a bad idea and yes it does save money. Keep in mind though that you cannot buy a car that is less than 6 months old, so you would have to wait for some used ones.

I think so. If we are looking at a 10k difference to start with, then after 6 months depreciation someone could pick up a current model year C6 Z for less than a lot of people paid for their new C5 Z.
Well my dealer hasn't even responded yet. I emailed him this morning July 18th just like he said to. This is what he told me 3 weeks ago. And I quote "July 18th is the big day". What a joke. What the h_ll is gm waiting for. Also why has car and driver not tested this car yet. What is the delay all about. Just ranting thats all, its friggin hot as hell here.
I emailed GM Canada and they said Canadian pricing would be set in August, with first cars coming in Sept. I am guessing they are waiting until the last second to price the car here due to the currency fluctuations...
