Loving everything about it including the price tag, except the interior. What were they thinking with the wall of buttons?!
Ya I’m with you. Reminds me of a 90s concept car.
I missed the price. What’s it start at?
I want to like it.... At a glance I do, then I stare and find things that could be changed (all my opinion though).
I do think it looks very much like a Ferrari. I was just reading on FB, someone was bashing its design. They said it looks like 4 teams were assigned a section of car to design and nobody could look at anyone's work til it was all done then they slammed all the designs together, I can see that. I want to see one in person.
"Mark Reuss announced that the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 will start under $60,000 when it goes on sale late this year."Quote:

Looks like no manual transmission option
Think that’s for the 19 stingray.Quote:

I love the exterior. Interior might grow on me.
Exterior is nice but it doesn’t scream “Corvette” to me. I still like it. That belt full of buttons has to go.
someone called it a fiero on facebook haha
Ferrari and Lambo kit car companies are already starting back up!
I like it more than when the C7 first came out. If you watch the reveal video they explain the buttons for the HVAC controls. I don’t mind it.
For 60k, find me another mid engine car with 500HP and 0-60 under 3 sec.
Jay Leno hands on video with the C8

Thank you, glad I’m not the only person hating on the buttons. The sad part is, some designer is hanging his hat on that thinking it’s well done.
Can see a passenger grabbing at it in a turn and smacking something
Camaro has a horizontal row of buttons like that under the touch screen and it is actually pretty functional. My guess is that from a packaging standpoint, they really don't take up that much room. So they put them in there so they could keep the dash low and the driver area fighter-pilot-cockpit-like.

I like it
Just seen an all black one in northville, pretty sharp.
Incredible car for $60k. Anybody see an estimated quarter mile et? Gotta be low 11s I would think.
Nothing yet on top speed or 1/4 mile yet.Quote:

From what I gathered (nothing official) it was because they wanted to use the shiny screen but didn't want too many reflections. You can get a screen with the dull finish, but they wanted it shiny. You wouldn't believe how much time they spend on stuff like that, it is crazy. I remember when they did the Synergy Editions a few years ago they literally talked about thread colors for hours. Those studio guys are insanely passionate about those tiny details.Quote:

Company I worked for supplies a part on this, they wouldn’t let us sit inside to troubleshoot issues. Had to stand outside with wires through window....
That's pretty wild. It was a well kept secret but what did they gain from not letting someone sit in a camo'd prototype?Quote:

The price point is shocking its a very affordable car for what we get. Now I mean if the the prices of the c7/c6 go down a little lol
for the price I don't see how this isn't going to be a hot seller....the front and sides look killer. The rear, not so much.
I saw it a couple weeks ago here on the retail/marketing side. I was involved in getting the allocation guide posted for dealers to see as well as the "reserve yours now" program (or whatever they're calling it now). The amount of meetings and effort going into it, even now, is pretty wild. There's still more to come.Quote:
