2023 changes
There has been talk that the center row of climate controls would be redesigned for 2023, to reduce the height of the wall. This may be why the 2023 Z06 and the 2023 C-8 are being released at the same time. I noticed that in all news releases concerning the 2023 Z06 by GM, note that there may be changes.
Got my 2021 in August and in 9 months it will not only be 2 years old, but the interior will be dated.😜

Exactly 19 people out of almost 50,000 C8 owners dislike the wall. Now that I own one, I like the wall because of how clean it leaves the dash.

Personally, I like the "Great Wall". For 2023, I REALLY hope they get some more exciting/vibrant colors and better wheel options. Even though this is a sports car, I still would like to see them add a dynamic cruise control options
On the sporty side, I'd like to see a LED RPM steering wheel like those found on the exotics. I think this would go great on the z06.

Looks like the changes will include the new Adrenaline Red Dipped interior. Stands to reason that Morello Red Dipped will no longer be available.
Perhaps some new exterior colors will be coming, too. Perhaps a new blue or a green is on the way?

Dream on, it isn't going anywhere, they aren't stopping 2022 builds on May6th and starting 2023 cars 3 days later with a whole new interior remake. There is zero reason to change something when you have years deep of orders.

I never said I dislike the wall. The fact is I love the way it looks. I read a few articles about a change in upper management that hated it and was going to change it. But being 76, I forgot where I read it. What made me think it may happen was the post of introducing the 2023 C-8 in May. Personally I hope they make zero changes as I feel like I am in a cockpit. l

Michael Simcoe is GM head of design and there are many articles regarding his dislike of the wall. It is also mentioned in these articles that his plan is to change for the 2023 model. Almost all owners love the current design as do I.

There’s no doubt a lot of features GM engineers designers and executives don’t like or wish were incorporated, but it’s a decision by committee.
