So this wheel is what would be the "5-trident spoke" referenced.




The database honestly seems legit, but it also seems like a placeholder database until the final options and color names are available. The color names are horrendously bad. There are typos. And '5 Trident spoke' literally translates to 5 spoke 3 pointed, not exactly the most fluid and elegant name.

The "Wow" thread got locked because: discussing moderation in the forums isn't permitted. Kinda like this. So cease and desist.

So, GM is going with a "Mount Olympus" theme for the C8?

Like the $1 Crate option for the Dodge Demon, I hope the C8 comes with a "Thunder from the gods" option that adds every high performance upgrade known to man.

Could somebody in Canada go to a dealer and validate this claim?

I just emailed Carscoops. GMA has tons of original leaks on all GM products, but they’ll put their own watermark on pictures they don’t own and claim them as their own leaks.

I’m curious about the removable top options. I’ve been holding out hope for a motorized retractable hard top....my dreams may be crushed?!

Maybe a typo sure....if not, it is implying that the car has 10" front rims.

Long live low riders!
Typo, probably 19's. Waiting to see if legit...

I e-mailed Jalopnik a few hours ago and talk with their Chief Editor. They are going to make a post too.

All part of the refreshed C7 for 2020. Nothing unusual about those options.
