prepare to be shocked then. I would fully expect it to be 45k minimum, most likely 55k as a minimum, 65k with all the options.

Yeah, we complain about car prices, but those are the competitor prices.

but for 35k? the same 1.3-2.5L engines all other GMs seem to be running on these days. Even 35k is a small number and I would expect it to be closer to 38-39,999
To me it's mostly about value, not just the sticker price. A generic blob like the car in FordMustangNerd's picture isn't worth even $25K to me, firstly because its exterior isn't special and doesn't evoke any emotion, and second, I could buy a used one later that may have some mileage but whose price will be waaay lower.

Then again, I'm not a typical new car buyer, it takes a LOT of inspiration and quality and attention to detail to sway me towards such a silly financial decision, others will certainly have a different perspective.

The 6th gen Camaro has been the only vehicle in my life so far that cleared this bar. As a result, my 2018 2SS has had only one owner (me), 6 miles on the odometer when taking delivery, and a new car smell that lasted for half a decade, if not more.

They have now officially stated that the ct5-v blackwing will return. They have not said what the engine layout will be, or if it will have a new name or not, but the car…in general…will return. Source is GM Authority and a car and driver article that sites GM authority (so really, the same source)

Hmm, what do you mean by it "will return"? It never went away in the first place.

They need to stick with the CT5 name. The Blackwing variant has put it on the map and its built some brand recognition. I believe the CT5 was previously the CTS which was something else also not that long ago.
