I just cannot wrap my mind around that row of buttons.

I'll bet that drivers will quickly get accustomed to the buttons. The PRND buttons are also quite unique. It's all electric.

That row of buttons is pure comedy. *** GM!
Someone could have easily made that less of an eye sore..

I wonder if any of the models are coming with Carbon Ceramic brakes. After having them in my M3, I don't think I can go back to steel brakes, unless its a super nice Alcon/AP brake kit. Having super good brakes is a game changer with canyon runs and daily street driving.

Since they had this option in the C7, it will most certainly be available eventually. IIRC, they cost about 8K, so you better want them badly. The canyon roads here are rarely empty enough to drive fast and they have zero value for street driving. My stock C7 had all the brakes i needed for Colorado mountain driving.

Eh....I have to say it does nothing for me. That interior....the crazy trans tunnel (for lack of a better term, since there's no trans there) is just plain silly IMO.

But I may be biased, since the last Corvette I would want to own was made in 1960.

That's why they put it in the co-pilot's lap! Less of a distraction to the driver all the way over there.
Too bad they couldn't buck the trend of modern cars all looking like they have an iPad glued to the dash.

Haven't gotten to drive a C7, but have enjoyed ripping through some mountain roads in a C5 and C6. Both were fun enough that I could overlook any quibbles I had with the interiors. It's difficult to get a better performance bargain than a few-years-used Corvette. If I didn't have a couple kids who need to be dropped off at school on my way to work I would likely be DD'ing a C6. The sacrifices we make for our children.

I am sitting up straight - I like this a lot.

BUT... not done paying tuition (yet).

daughter > C8.

My favorite truck of all time. 69-72 chevy, gmc. Drove one for 25 years, miss it every day.

The C7 interior was an enormous improvement over the C6. The C8 has even better seat options.

So they ripped off a Ferrari design.
I like it. But goodness, imagine the comments if this came out of asia.
