I don't see a need for it to be > $80-90k. I don't see the location of the engine being a driver of huge cost. They have had a front/mid engine w/ a transaxle for quite a while now, so remove that tube and bolt them together. Maybe GM will think it should get all exotic w/ lots of CF etc but I don't think it needs to go that way. Rather than make it a separate model halo car I would make it the standard model. That way they can amortize a lot of the development costs over the next 10 yrs and a lot more volume.
