Possible Cadillac affecting C8?
With most of the early reviews describing the C8 as a bit sterile, quiet, comfortable, and more of a GT feel it got me thinking.
This is probably a stretch, but with the rumor that Cadillac may offer a model based off this mid engine platform, do think it’s possible these driving dynamics and the overall GT personality are a byproduct of GM engineering this platform for both Corvette and Cadillac?
Crazy thought and I realize this is a stupid thread lol. Just throwing it out there as I’m a bit surprised by the reported driving dynamics and overall personality of the car.

And that's by no means a complaint... it's an affordable, attainable, reliable, daily-driveable, 'super'car.
