If the renderings that have been showing up are close to actual I suspect I will be keeping my 17 Z06 for a long time.

i think it will take some getting used to but i'm sure i will get one one day... i don't know how i feel about ME cars yet. they're like a fad to me.. kind of impractical vs this car. i take this car everywhere when I can. go shopping heck even home depot. i can't see me doing that in a ME car.. very one dimensional.. the cargo area in this and prior gens just really makes the car easy to live with (imo)

not even sure if i'm going to keep my 16 Z06 past this summer. winter is tough as it just collects dust in the garage before my eyes lol..

i may end up picking up an older C7 vert -own it outright- so it doesn't "annoy" me for the next 4 months just... sitting there...

Chevy quality and the price scare me plain and simple. Deal with it. If you want one get it. I will NOT.

I'm all in on the 2nd year C8, higher horse variant. Will be my 35th Vette. Very confident it will be a terrific car at a price point marginally higher than the C7 lineup.
These are exciting times for Corvette.

I have no desire for one (agree with kenw). Just sayin' that NO ONE OUTSIDE OF GM knows the pricing

I'll wait for the C9, which will be the Lectric Vette.

I voted no because my C7 will probably be my last vette. I love this car. Of course I said the same thing about my 2k frc until the ECBM took a dump and it could not be repaired or replaced.
