Rumor: low cost C7 Corvette Coupe coming

[TradeStepan]

The C7 Corvette Stingray is one of the impressive cars coming out I think. Been reading rumors about a low cost version that would slot in under the Stingray model.

Make sense or is Motor Trend just talking bunk?

Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.

The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.

Let me get this straight... GM goes crazy marketing the new C7 Corvette as the "Stingray" revival and then they're going to introduce a C7 model which isn't called the Stingray?? Sounds suspect to me...
