Default Far Exceeded expectations....

I have to give kudos to GM for doing this project and executing it at this level. It it perfect, no. The rear end to me is a bit wonky, but it may look better in person. The overall design has many elements from great mid-engine cars, Ferrari, McLaren, Lambo but is also uniquely Corvette. The interior design and usability appears to be very well thought out. Hats off to the GM crew on this one. I can't believe its from the same company that penned the Blazer, Cruze, Equinox, Spark, Sonic and the whole **** pile of Buicks... Glad to have a deposit down.

Agreed... they hit a grand slam. A $59K mid engine with 495 horse, DCT, great ingress/egress, more interior room, great storage, etc. etc.

Not bad at all. Even my wife is saying, "What would it take for us to get into one?" I hadn't thought that was in the cards, but you know--it just might happen.
