I think its one hell of a bargain
It is too much to ask of me as a consumer to take the second or third tier for the price of the next brand's top tier. I'm GM-loyal, so I will of course get the beefy V6 if I must, but how many others would rather get the V8 Mustang, even if it's impotent in comparison? I want my price tag to reflect dominance in performance with competition in price. I'm okay with a few extra dollars, but crossing the $30,000 mark is a very dangerous move for Chevrolet.
