If you want Chevrolet (or any manufacturer) to make different cars (or offer different configurations at different prices), contact the manufacturer and tell them that. You can also do that through the dealer. Dealer sales teams have a communications channel to the manufacturer to voice concerns/suggestions. If there is enough interest, the manufacturer will respond.
This is interesting. I didn't realize that dealers were a feedback mechanism to GM. Maybe I will go to a dealer and have a discussion.
I also totally agree that a 5 year old car is a great affordable option. I am just afraid that with the prices escalating, there will be far fewer to choose from used. I also totally get that this has a lot of performance for 47K. I just wish that there was a stripper version available for people who just want the performance stuff. clearly you won't save 10K with an infotainment delete, but I would rather get a decent V8 base and add performance stuff later as I can afford to rather than have to pay almost 40K upfront for a lot of "extra" stuff that I don't necessarily want.
I understand that I don't need to buy new, and with these prices, I don't plan to but someone has to for me to buy used and at almost 50K they have a lot of other options besides a Chevy Camaro.
