Manual mode will keep it in manual permanently.

Because big gulps.... and planning for a future electric hybrid maybe? And... well it's not as wide as the C7 console.

All the better to reserve a place for batteries for the future front drive electric motors (speculative by the way).

TH, you got me by 1 minute.

I don't think they intend to.

So what's everyone think on the reverse button? Pull up like the C7 parking brake? Rest of them push?

The interior pics look nice. Certainly not the "Dollar Store" quality that some of the GM haters predicted.

So no shifter ****. The first Corvette without a shifter ****, another tradition gone.
Can't wait to hear from the round tail light crowd.

Regarding the parking brake button, it's probably off to the side because the DCT has a 'park' mode. So you won't need the parking brake as often as you would in a manual trans car. They can keep the center console real estate for more frequently used functions.

No need for one... makes for a much more versatile interior.

Good point... parking brake would truly only be used on steep hills.

If it's anything like a modern Volvo, it will auto detect when parking on an steep incline and engage the parking brake for you. Upon starting the car you would then hit a button to disengage the system.

last on the right I have no idea, Looks to be a pic of what would be a split window and maybe says AUX under it? Or possibly a lane keeping assist button?

Like normal... the photos are not full resolution so zooming in nets pretty bad results.

Looks like the cars will finally be getting actual colors for the interior vs. just a few splashes of color and seats colors.

Ahhh!!!! The rotary controller says "MODE" on it... that's the drive mode selector.

Go here -> https://www.carscoops.com/2019/07/ex...ind-the-wheel/

Refer to photo 2 of 16. You can clearly see it says “MODE” on the chrome strip on top of the rotary dial.

(Edit - Never mind, I’m too slow.)
