GM tweeked the A8 trans software on 18 &19. They also tweeted the MRC software on 19 (not sure about 18). Added MY19 ZR 1. Deleted Sterling Blue & Black Rose colors for 18 & 19. Added new color Sebring Orange MY18 &19. Standard stage 2 aero side skirts & splitter on GS starting MY18. Changed base motor oil starting MY19 to Mobil1 Oil 0W-40 Dexos 2 ESP. Introduced Carbon65 for MY18. There may be a few other minor tweaks.

Other than adding the ZR1, the differences between 18 and 19 for the base/GS and Z06 trim levels, seem either non-existent or so minor they could be done within the same model year.
So why bother changing the production year?
Is it to avoid no MY 2019 like 1983?
Thanks!

My 2018 has that view on it too in Track View (that shows all the digital readouts for oil pressure, coolant temperature, oil temperature and trans temperature along with tire pressures and tire temperature)

I thought they may have added it to 2018 MY but I wasn't sure. Thanks for clarifying.

You said standard stage 2 aero side skirts and splitter on GS? do you have a pic?
i thought all gs had 3/4 side skirts and poverty splitter. unless that's what you mean by stage 2.
i thought stage 2 was splitter with winglets and full length carbon flash skirts?!?

So, what I'm analyzing here is NO REAL CHANGE, that would effect market value.....So, if some ones looking at an '17-18-19, it's just condition, mileage, personal prefrerance
