I would love to see Doug review the C8... He'll probably uncover some of those little things that you would never know from the sales and marketing material and the only guy who's more entertaining to listen to is probably Jeremy Clarkson IMO.

SO MANY of these sites are nothing more than click bait to get views. They pass on minimal or usually NO NEW information, as well as helping to keep false rumors alive longer.

I'm looking forward to his review of the C8... He reviews cars like regular people drive 99.9% of the time. He won't notice things like there is understeer at the absolute limit on the track, and harp on it as a huge negative... which is just fine as neither will almost every owner out there.

Let's inject some reality into the comedy that is this thread: Like it or not, GM has a small fleet of press cars/media/demo cars that are available for tests and reviews. Until customer cars start getting pressed out of Bowling Green, the fleet is what it is: small. YouTubers don't have the reach that they believe they do. Even Doug (who is, and always will be: an idiot). They think they're reaching millions of folks, and may very well be. But they're off by a couple of order of magnitude in importance for GM. Think: 10s of millions of people, if not more.

The numbers just don't play in Doug's favor. He's not that important in the overall grand scheme. GM's PR folks (ie: the folks that work under the Chevrolet umbrella specifically) have to manage resources accordingly. And they're doing so.

Poor Doug. GM will survive without you.

Chevy has not done a full Press Drive for the C8 yet. Nor do they have C8s in the press fleets around the country yet. Really only a handful of magazines and some Car of the Year jurors have driven it.

There should be another wave of reviews in the next 3-6 months.

Absolutely right. Then we have people that perpetuate it by making worthless threads like this.

Do you spend a lot of time putting on makeup and wig and giant floppy shoes to post here, or do you just roll out of bed looking like that?

Unrelated, I find DeMuro mostly good, but too often he makes factual whiffs or tries to pass off dull rocks as delicious truffles of can’t-get-this-from-anyone-else insight, and his goofy-tourist demeanor doesn’t sell those mistakes the way Jeremy Clarkson’s crankiness sells his.

I hope one day to see Clarkson’s review of the C8 rear fascia’s flexibility.

At least he doesn't have a shift **** to come off in his hand.

Stingray23

He is beyond annoying

WICKEDFRC

This is exactly why I can't stand watching any of his reviews.

RRvet

Worthless?

Then why do you have the record number of posts in this thread?

The C8 is pop culture that translates to sales. I have given enough fore warning, and its time for events to play themselves out. Social media told us that Trump would win, but nobody listened. Now social media says he would lose by a landslide no matter who is the other candidate, as it stands. When the largest car reviewer on you tube says the most requested car in his history is the C8 corvette then this is bigger than ANYONE realizes like it or not. We have witnessed people wearing clown suits on the day after, and im pretty sure some of you guys will be looking in a mirror figuring out how to adjust that big red nose. No disrespect either, but pure objective observation.

Your ego is bigger than DeMuro's. You are not an oracle.
Your talents are wasted here. You should start a YouTube channel. Or run for President.

Sub Driver

Poor guy you must be pretty butt-hurt. Hope you feel better.

New car dude

Ego is believing you dictate public desires. The info is there for the open minded, and I dont have any skin in the game one way or the other. Trump will lose the election and the C8 is the most popular sports car on this planet by next year. Its quite rational and easy to see both no matter how many want the opposite to happen.

Sorry your girl lost

Mister Big

THIS is the reason (actually two reasons) he posted this video --

-- He's trolling GM to get a review car
-- Putting the C8 in the title will get him lots of views

ArmchairArchitect

They'd probably rather give the car the someone who can review a car focusing on the important aspects, and drive it properly, rather than someone who spends a majority of their review focusing on stupid things like whether the turn signal stalk is borrowed from another car...

RRvet

I'm not the guy who called this thread worthless...then became the guy who has posted more times in it than anyone else.

SledgeHammerRacing

You hit the nail on the head. Doug isn't bad at what he does, I just find his videos lacking real content about cars. I don't think his knowledge of cars is worth a damn.
