Your thoughts on whether the fist generation of the C8 will be more valuable that latter gens? Excluding the Z06.

The C8 is a generation, just as was C7, C6, C5, etc. So your question doesn’t make sense.

Why would it be? A 1997 C5 had no more value than a 2001 C5.

And therefore any other answer also doesn't make sense.

There's No reason why the 'first model year' of the C8 will be more valuable than latter model years.

No…if anything less. Because it’s older…plus the lack of wireless Apple CarPlay is a killer on 2020 C8 values.

They’ll likely make some changes to it over the years and the last couple years of the generation will end up being the most valuable.
