IDK, it looks pretty cool to me!

The marketing sounded good. A more critical review would be nice.
I like that they kept some of the cargo space and the speed bump feature.
I'm not sure what this will be like for the traditionalist who likes to make modifications or the shade tree mechanic after warranty.
Well see what owners think.

Very nice car. Would love to have one. Can't, or won't spend the money. Still not even close to the new Ford GT, but neither is the price. I'm still very happy with my C5.

I watched it, I’ve tried to accept this car into my heart as a die hard corvette enthusiast.

i just can’t.

The Ford GT's engine is almost half the size and half the fuel economy with not much going on in the interior.
The Vette seems more versatile as a daily driven sports car. They are offering a lot of options.
We haven't seen reviews or many technical specs as of yet but I'll bet the Vette keeps up and for 1/5 the price.

I had similar sentiments, but I'm also thinking where else can the Corvette program go from the C7 design at this point.
Everything that can be done with the front engine design seems like it has been done.

This car looks like it is built every bit as well as the Lamborghini Huracan and other cars in it's class.

I am a Tall boy too. I had to cut down my seat in the C5 to fit. Comfort for folks over 5 ft 7 should be a priority. At least it is to me.
I thought if GM wanted to make a bigger splash ,they would have added All wheel drive to the C8. Gee...I have that on my Outback.
Later.

I betting that awd will be offered in the future. I don’t know what’s inside that center backbone tunnel but I’m sure they can make room when the time comes, along with turbos ect.

JMHO.

TinkersVet

the AWD is why your Vet is in the garage and the Outback is out in the back

Life’s good C5

I missed the show! What’s is the price? I had heard 170 and then read starting in the 60’s?

USAZR1

I can.

Jay Leno did a YouTube show on it. During the review it was mentioned that there will be more leg room. They didn't mention head room.

I think they summed it up best by explaining they have taken the front engine platform about as far as it can go with the higher horsepower models.

Think about how many HP the 2019 ZR1 has (755) vs the 150 HP the 1953 model had!!!

If Corvette is going to keep pushing the performance edge, they have to go mid engine because Chevrolet is too good at making high horsepower!

To not go mid engine, the Corvette performance would be forever plateaued.

Like all other generations of the Corvette, some like it, some don't. Some like and/or dislike some of the features, for a lot of us some things take a little time to grow on us, but I predict the C8 will fly off the showroom floors.

I like the new Vette but not a fan of the rear ended and especially hate the spoiler

So far, the C8 is actually my favorite designed Corvette since the C5.

I do feel like they could have smoothed out the body lines more, but they didn't make it as angular as I was fearing.

The only thing I suspect I won't like is the weight. Granted, there's no way it could have a lot of carbon fiber, let alone a carbon chassis with this low price tag, so weight will be up there I'm sure.

I hope there is a manual seat option, non-electric telescoping wheel, normal tires that aren't run flats, minimal sound system, etc. to cut at least some weight out. A normal, non-electrical limited slip could probably help too. I feel like we won't get most of these even though I think it would be awesome.

Kinda looks like a boxy 458. That is a beautiful car. This, ehhh. Can I use that air duct for extra storage?

With only a couple of exceptions, I think the C8 looks great and the performance is certainly there, at least according to GM. I hope it is a huge success - the future of the Corvette is riding on it.
