I haven't really lost interest but my spare chunk of change went to buy another home so the C8 is out for a while which is probably for the best since I would never buy a first model year of this change for corvette. Not willing to trade my ZR1 although I guess I can't say never without seeing the C8 without the camo

I'm just tired of reading forums everyday. GM has NO loyalty to Corvette owners. They use every situation to make money off of Corvette owners. Who else would raise the fees at a museum so they could show a hole in the ground.

Considering the private messages I received from ZERV, the user who leaked the CADs, I would say that it was not a GM-planned leak.

Also keep in mind that any information that competitors have about your your future product will give them an advantage, so GM wouldn’t want those CADs out there in the first place.

I would just get something used that is nice to hold you over for a couple years. the first year c8 is nothing I would want to own, unless you have a good lemon law attorney ready to attack Problem is, when GM puts out their TSB, that is a major prohibiting factor to lemon law cases, as then GM can argue your car is not a lemon, it is a recall affecting all cars, and a fix is coming (even if one is not)

So the overheat issue on the c7. Ive heard of some people successfully lemon'ing the car for that, but that was early on. I think at this stage in the game, it would be very difficult to pull off a lemon law on a c7 due to overheating limp modes.

and the c7z is a great car. Get it and it will grow on you. I hated the look at too at first. But once you appreciate how something behaves, you learn to love what it looks like.

Seriously? It will grow on you? You learn to love what it looks like? When I pay Corvette dollars, I need to love the car before I buy. That is why I did not buy a C7. It’s a great car, I just don’t like it enough, especially the styling. I’m hoping the C8 is a different story. A love a first sight story..

Nobody could express my own thoughts any more accurately than that. Very well said!

No sour grapes here.
I had heard the NSX could be had at discounted prices, not that it was a bad car in any way.

Well played.

The problem is, IMO, a LOT has changed in the automotive world since this ME project began.
Whatever the C8 eventually becomes, it will show the design changes and compromises GM had to make along the way.
They didn't get it out soon enough to capture the imagination, the market where it would really take off.
So many management and money problems came to bear on General Motors during the last 10 years.
IF it becomes a hit, the size of the miracle will not be small.

No interest lost here in the car. What I'm bored with are the daily mule video's that show nothing new.. . Love the renderings but until the camo changes I've lost all interest in viewing more of them.

Yea, but those competitors know just as much about the thing as we do. For all we know still it might not even be the vette. (I doubt it, but I also doubt that's a base model vehicle we saw in those drawings... probably the middle of the road guy imo) Again, if it were a problem, you would think more would have been heard about it from GM. Nothing was filed and or said about it so who knows. We have no clue who zerv is or was but a quick IP check could either be surprising or just show that it was in fact some guy. The beauty is that we'll never know... unless those same shots mysteriously appear in a GM brochure on the car when it comes out.

Basically this is half the fun.

Is there a car in today’s market that you love? Why not look for a used version of that vehicle with the plan that it’s already had a depreciation hit and your resale losses will be reduced when you choose to move on to another ‘love’ when the time comes...

Red67John

That does make sense, but I actually lovet the cars I own now, just always forward to the new one.

Couldn't care less. I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my 2019 Stingray...!

cv67

x3 you either want one or ya dont....Ill never be able to afford one but if I could...and as said they are STILL cramped, no way.
There are cars a LOT smaller that have lots more room. They are shooting themselves in the foot w/sales in that aspect

Tally Ho

Since I don't buy first year cars, I can wait. My 2006 C6 and 2017 C7Z keep me entertained for now. If for some reason the C8 does not appeal to me or is way overpriced, there are plenty of other options.

You do realize GM does not run the Museum or have a financial interest in it? The Assembly Plant is another story. As for GM's loyalty to their customers: They aren't in business to lose money. Over the years they have delivered more bang for the buck than any other sports car IMO. The Corvette team does listen and meet with loyal customers. I like the Corvette management team right now. They seem to get it.

CorvettoBrando

Since I've been following the concept of a mid-engine Corvette for 40 plus years, I haven't lost interest in the slightest. This is by far the closest we've ever come to actually having one available! I don't mind it taking another year or two...

Walter Raulerson

Right.. unreliable like the weather strip being loose, the seat belt not working, little things that make you crazy. ..Consumer's Report rated GM 18,24,26,and 27th and the 2018 Corvette worst than average .I sure hope they get it RIGHT

BIG Dave

You do understand GM is a business and not a charity, right?

punky

No offense but you don't get it. Porsche has been *** raping their loyal for decades. Yeah, that's right.
