I don't realistically expect these to be any less than 35k to start with and if anyone seriously thinks these will be sub 30k they need to think again. But, in the end there's a difference between "can afford" and "will afford". For me there's a limit to "will afford".
It's clear from the posts here that some folks can and will purchase this car at any price point and others are simply kidding themselves with wishful thinking. We'll see how this shakes out over the next several months but I sense another Viper in the offing...
your forgetting that most of the time if you deposit money at the begining you can get cars at specified amount over invoice or msrp, i have never seen a car go for higher for msrp 3-6 months before the dealer gets it. Hell the solistice my friend got was 500 over invoice he got one of the first in the area.
