What features are missing or disliked on the car?
1. The driving wheel design has a lot to be desired.
2. I miss the black side scoops in the top rear sides of the body of the car. Like in the C7 that gave it some contrast.
3. No chrome wheels?
4. Where do you put the T-top when you take it off? It snaps great on the C7 trunk! ***Correction, and also on C8!!***
5. The base model has no spoiler?
6. The stingray logo on top of the trunk looks ugly.
7. Is there only one AC vent for the driver and two for the passenger? From the pictures I am not seeing that second one. Is this a miss?
8. The interior design is a huge miss for me. I wonder who was the genius who decided to spread all the buttons all over the interior instead of keeping them in one place. Its all over the map.
9. The rear of the car looks like the camaro. Why GM, why?
10. Z51 spoiler isnt that good looking.
Please comment, add those things you liked, disliked, or are missing. In addition please correct anything that I pointed out that is incorrect or I may have missed. I really want to like and love this car but I am honestly not there yet. Did the C7 had the same effect for you? Did you disliked the C7 at first but then it grew on you? Please let me know!
Thanks!

Leaf Springs
Round Taillights
Front Engine
In line six cylinder (nod to the really old traditionalists)
Hidden headlights
Manual Transmission
Lack of ability to order without power steering, power brakes, AC, power windows, all those heavy pansy-assed options
Lack of vent windows
I'm sure there's more, just will come to me later.

1. The driving wheel design has a lot to be desired. I don't mind the wheel.....
2. I miss the black side scoops in the top rear sides of the body of the car. Like in the C7 that gave it some contrast. Agree.
3. No chrome wheels? There should be chrome, can't see them not going chrome.
4. Where do you put the T-top when you take it off? It snaps great on the C7 trunk! The coupe fits in the rear trunk of the C8, I'm sure it snaps in the same just more vertical. I hear the Vert will be a hardtop auto.
5. The base model has no spoiler? Yes, just like the base C7.
6. The stingray logo on top of the trunk looks ugly. Agree
7. Is there only one AC vent for the driver and two for the passenger? From the pictures I am not seeing that second one. Is this a miss? Not sure, would think there would be multiple.
8. The interior design is a huge miss for me. I wonder who was the genius who decided to spread all the buttons all over the interior instead of keeping them in one place. Its all over the map. Will have to see this in person.
9. The rear of the car looks like the camaro. Why GM, why? Could not agree more, the biggest turn off for me on the car overall.
10. Z51 spoiler isnt that good looking. Not a fan, but similar ones on the C7.

Really, no one misses the hidden compartment behind the C7 screen?
and where are the cup holders?
The wireless (I assume) phone charger on the waterfall is kinda cool, but I suspect that being out of sight will cause me to leave it in the car.

1. The infotainment screen does not mesh with the rest of the interior layout. It looks like an afterthought.
2. The rear end/fascia/bumper is a big disappointment and the styling does not flow with the front end and side views. Here we go again...another ugly butt!
3. How many styling cues did Chevrolet steal from Lamborghini’s Aventador? I’ve lost count.
I like the C8 but I can never see myself loving it enough to ever own one. Too many styling miscues inside and out. The driving performance should be incredible, but I’ll save my coin for something else that is truly the total package.

I did see cup holders on the interior pic though, the lid was just closed.

I will miss the huge cargo space in my coupe. Impressive they were able to create as much storage space as they did in the c8.
