On the C-8 forum, it will be prefer the C-8. Here on the C-7 forum, it will be prefer the C-7. Funny how that works, huh?

Yeah a 7 year old review but one thing is very revealing....the cost of a 2014 was $51,000....They brought out the stripper/base C8 in 2020 for just $60,000.

And there is a LOT more content in the C8 base.

Now that's AMAZING

Nothing wrong with reviving an old thread. Gives complainers something to complain about. 😊

I agree with your sentiment,. However, its pretty clear the member didn't intend to. Educating and assisting is not complaining.
