Key Fob leaks and solid steel rotors are enough proof for me.... prove me wrong.

When BMW announced no manual for the current M5 I was convinced that manual transmissions are going the way of the Dodo bird.

I hope so too but also like you I doubt it, the only indicator being the cars tested on the street didn’t appear to have spoilers underneath the camo. At the very least though I have faith the design team did something with it to make it look less out of place than it does with the camo cars.

At this point it’s a safe bet to assume that the C8 is going to be the complete opposite of what PCM has stated.

So after reading this thread up to this point I had a thought. If GM is worried about the number of ME cars it can sell, why not simultaneously release a Corvette and a Cadillac version. Make the Cadillac version more expensive because of a better interior then you could get stuffy Cadillac buyers because they can say it's better than the Corvette (cost more, Cadillac name, better interior) and still get Corvette buyers because it's a Corvette (maybe faster because it's lighter than the Cadillac). This could explain why we seem to see two versions and why it's taking so long to reveal.
Go ahead and tell me why I can't be right

16 Vettes and counting…..
Not for me. The ME is interesting, but hardly compelling given the styling and tricky handling, not to mention no manual or cargo space.
I would like to see a refreshed C7 Grand Sport with the Blackwing and 10 speed auto or 7 speed manual, plus heated steering wheel, blind spot monitor, etc. All for under $70K.
Also, I would like to see a Corvette SUV similar to the Lambo Urus. Am I dreaming?

NO.....you're just an idiot.
Can we vote this douchebag off the island?
