Just like it did with the coupe, Chevy has announced that it will offer the Corvette Stingray Convertible as an exclusive Premiere Edition for a lucky few customers. Limited to just 550 units, all examples of the Stingray Premiere Edition Convertible will come in Lime Rock Green with a tan top, fitted with all the goodies from the base 3LT Z51 Convertible and then some. These convertibles will all add dealer-option five-spoke wheels with Stingray-logo centre caps, while the interior adds suede upholstery, carbon-fibre trim and special sill plates. If that's not enough, the Premiere Edition roadster also comes standard with optional extras like the performance exhaust and Magnetic Selective Ride Control fitted as standard. The whole package is finished off with a US$920 five-piece fitted luggage set from Thule. When this limited-edition convertible goes on sale early next year, Chevy will be asking – and likely have no problem getting – US$77,450 for it (CAD pricing not yet available). That's about US$10,000 over a stock 3LT Z51 convertible, and about a US$4,000 premium over a fully-loaded model fitted with all of this car's options. Is that measure of exclusivity worth the extra four grand? If for resale value alone, we're sure at least 550 buyers will think so. http://ca.autoblog.com/2013/11/29/corvette-stingray-premiere-edition-convertible-gallery-pics-photos-special/
Really wish manufacturers would stop putting chrome rims on cars. They look so tacky and out of place.
Damn straight! <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/smile.gif"></A> Today's cars with its stupid plastic bumper cover are so fragile and also, very expensive to replace.
The C7 is a pretty badass, eye catching car in person (and awesome when it comes to driving, from what I hear) but this edition/combo really is kind of old man bait.
Love the color combo and the chrome wheels set off the color the same way a diamond sports bracelet looks good an a girl. Sorry, guys, but for thos of us that grew up with chrom stock on sports cars, like porsche 356s and 911s, a little flash just looks right, especially when it sparkles while moving. Just like I loved the small bit of chrome trim on my 740iL defining the beltline and window shape.
