Kelly Blue Book Names 2015 Corvette Stingray a Best Value of 2015

The awards keep piling up for the seventh-generation Corvette Stingray.

The 2015 edition has just been named Kelley Blue Book Best Value of 2015 – Performance Car, beating out a fellow Chevrolet, the Camaro, as well as the Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, and Porsche Cayman.

Praises KBB: “Everything about the Chevy Corvette makes pure sense in a modern sports car. It is as joyous and painless to crackle off dazzling lap times in the Vette as it is to drive it to work. And with exterior presence that’s as hook-filled as an electric guitar solo, and a clean, modern driver’s interior that indulges you and your passenger with high-quality materials and a whip-smart design layout, everything about the 2015 Corvette is an improvement on our memories of it.”

Also earning praise as “a treat for nostalgic shift-it-yourselfers” was the standard seven-speed manual transmission, and KBB “wholeheartedly” endorsed the new eight-speed automatic.

KBB says the new Corvette offers plenty of surprises, not the least of which is the 29 miles per gallon fuel economy on the highway – despite the powerful standard 455 horsepower engine.

“That’s better highway fuel economy — significantly better — than any other V8 available in any of our Best Buy Award winners, regardless of category,” KBB praises.

And to add to the economic argument for buying a Stingray, KBB points out that they honored the seventh-generation Corvette last year as the Best Resale Value Award winner in High Performance Cars, along with being named one of the top five Best Resale Value Award winners out of every vehicle sold in the U.S.

“If you still have any doubts about whether the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray might be the smartest buy in its category,” KBB concludes, “then it’s time to move on — we can only offer you our sympathy.”
