On this week's episode of the Motor1.com U.S. podcast, Global Editor-in-Chief John Neff, Senior Editor Greg Fink, and Writer Christopher Smith go through the new Corvette's pricing and options line by line, trim by trim. What they find is shocking – the new Corvette is perhaps the best performance bargain they've seen in the last decade, if not this century.

Talking about official pricing for the 2020 Chevy Corvette was not the plan for episode #20. But our hosts received the information under strict embargo right before they were set to record. What was there to do but throw out the script and dig into the details of the mid-engine Corvette's pricing, trim levels, and features?

Starting with a base price that's far below what it was expected to be and an incredible list of standard equipment (for the first two trim levels, at least), the new Corvette's pricing takes a minute or two to sink in. The hosts are unabashedly impressed, though there are a few quibbles, particularly having to do with safety equipment.

As always, the episode ends with our favorite segment, What We're Driving This Week. Fink was piloting the former best-selling car in the country, Smith test drove another new contender to replace his old Mazda6, and Neff changed his tune about an iconic off-roader.

On this week's episode, the editors reveal the 25 cars being killed this year. Motor1.com Global Editor in Chief John Neff, Senior Editor Jeff Perez, and Writer Chris Bruce can't stand to see some of these classics, so they each make their own list of three cars they would save from the scrap heap. In order to save a car, another must be sacrificed.

Listen as the editors reveal their picks of which cars to save and which to sacrifice on this week's episode of the Motor1.com Podcast.

As always, we end the show with our favorite segment: What We're Driving This Week.

More anticipated than the Toyota Supra, Ford Bronco, and every new Star Wars film combined, Chevrolet will soon debut its long-awaited mid-engine Corvette after more than a half-century of teasing and empty promises.

By all accounts, it will be the most hardcore Corvette ever. In base trim, it will slot well against vehicles such as the Audi R8 and Porsche 911, but as it evolves, the American supercar could battle tough competitors like the McLaren 720S and Ferrari F8 Tributo, not to mention the Ford GT.

The base model C8 should have somewhere between 460 and 500 horsepower when it launches. That power should go up significantly with the eventual debut of higher-trim models, with 650 and 800 hp being figures we've heard most often. At the top of the Corvette range, we could see a bonkers hybrid with over 1,000-hp driving all four wheels.
