Right, and the C8s are grouped as well.

This allows you to reach any control you need quickly and easily.
That looks amazing!!!!!!! Just show me the missile launch and ejection seat buttons!!!

Passenger's job is to look gorgeous and make the driver look good OR to just sit down and shut up.

Why is having buttons in a row intrinsically a bad thing? I'm not sure what he's talking about.

The C8's interior is exquisite. I wouldn't change a single button.

Eventually that wall of buttons on the will be eliminated and integrated into the touch display as soft buttons.

Hey we can all be buying 911s at twice the price where half the buttons are plated because you didn’t max all the options out.

As far as instruments go, I'm assuming the car will have an excellent heads up display. That will be primary. That is what I look at 99% of the time. Second, the dash instrumentation is completely digital. By that I mean electronic. I would hope that a driver could configure that according to their own preferences, but we will see. So you might be able to make that as simple or complex as you want. Third, the climate controls are automatic, I'm sure, so just set it and leave it alone.

get a Saab then.

I think they’re perfect and will be staying indefinitely. It’s just out of your comfort zone.

What post-C5 Corvette interior has ever changed during a “facelift”?

99% sure this interior will stay in entire run of the C8.

that row of buttons is connected to an integral part of the interior, it's not as if they can just group all the buttons and place them somewhere else without completely changing the whole layout of the interior.....they will not change the interior in some mid year facelift like they did on the C4.
