Epic fail in TWO days

This Corvette has definitely had the anticipation building for many years. I talked with a retired GM insider at Detail Fest 2016, he confirmed then the mid engine Corvette was coming. I’m looking forward to see the final design.
 
IMO the rear of the car looks like a Camaro, didn't they learn from the C7 This is the best you could do to honor the Father of the Corvette, Zora Arkus Duntov!

Can’t wait to see one in the wild. I wonder what price these will go for. $100k?

The C7 rear end looked fine even though a lot of people went ape about it. That leaked photo of the C8 though looks brutal.

•IMO:
-Damn cool rear-clip evolution has occurred over
the last three generations of Corvettes (C5,6,7);
-I expect no less from the C8.

The corporate line so far has been "If you can afford a C7 Grand Sport, you can afford a C8" so likely around $70k to start, give or take.

That said, I wouldn`t touch a C8 for the first few years. They`re still having issues with C7 8-spd auto trans that a variety of service bulletins and `fixes` have failed to address over the last few years. The C8 has been delayed already due to electrical issues and twisting frames on the ultimate `Zora` C8 test mules.

Aside from what will likely be some significant teething issues, I find the thing just plain fugly. Front half up to the back of the doors is ok but from there back I think is ridiculous looking. Just IMO though.

So you’re saying that you were witness to
an early reveal of ”The 7/18/19 Reveal”?

That’s pretty :cool: !!

No, of course not...don't be silly.

But if you've been paying attention and watching the various glimpses of the camo versions, including the one that did a live roll-thru at the Museum Bash last Memorial Day, it's quite enough to get an idea that from the side vents back, it leaves a bit to be desired.

Unless the whole side vent/body from the doors back is camo...all beta are off then.

Of course I’ve been paying attention!
{Here, directly below...see for yourself
if it’s true, or not.}


•In a nutshell...
-You earlier alluded to the C7’s A8 transmission
woes not being successfully addressed by the
numerous GM fixes/TSBs; ie:”it leaves a bit to
be desired”.

-Yet didn’t you just recently purchase a 2019 C7
equipped with the A8?!? Did it, somehow, suddenly
overcome the “it leaves a bit to be desirable” status...
and is going to be used as a DD for your Wife?


•And now you are attempting to disparage
yet another aspect of a vehicle, that you
have yet to fully see, with the same ol’
“it leaves a bit to be desirable” refrain.


Meaning, IMO:
-You know you’ll get a C8; it’s in your blood.
