Default What realistic change could they make the the 2021 that would make you regret a 2020?

For me the only change would be 3 colors:

1. Velocity Yellow
2. Turquoise Metallic
3. A real deal metallic purple

I don't think any realistic engine/trans changes are coming (there are rumors of a 10-speed DCT at some point). I'm already ordering Z51 FE4 so them uncoupling FE4 from Z51 won't affect me.

Would a return of Black Rose Metallic satisfy you? Pared with Natural instead of Kalahari (PB&J)?

No... much preferred the real Black Rose Metallic on the C4. Way more purple than the C7 color. Still not purple enough for me.



This is pruple!

Wireless Android Auto. Probably my only regret on the '20 I ordered.

Now that’s Purple. A Natural interior seems too tame for that? You would go, what interior?

I'd go Sky cool grey... close enough to white without being white.

Adding Adaptive Cruise Control, Auto Dimming Headlights, and Wireless Android Auto without increasing MSRP. The typical MSRP increase would make it a wash.
Also, do you think a 10 speed DCT would drive a significant increase in performance? It seems it would just improve gas mileage.

Only thing that would make me regret would be paint color (bright green). Different wheels would be a plus since all 2020 options are fugly, but those are easily changed.

10 speed DCT wouldn't phase me, but it's not happening. The 8 speed auto was supposed to debut on the 2014, but it didn't make it in time hence the A6 debut and A8 for 2015.

Carbon flash lip for Z51 and side rockers. An option to carbon flash the pillars and roof on the coupe similar to the convertible. More caliper colors. Front lift option with the ability to lower front of the car as well. Blue interior stitching.

Not asking what you'd like to see on the 2021... but what would truly make you regret buying the 2020 and not waiting. Substantial things.

A light weight club sport edition. An engine option for a LT version of the high revving 427 NA small block. Neither is likely so I’ll accept my 2020.
