Sorry GM, but I just do not care for the Z06 wheels and the new spoiler. But I do like the three new colors.

To each their own preferences.
This. You can bet if they remove the wall of buttons all the HVAC controls and whatnot will move to a damn touch screen.

It wouldnt surprise me if any interior refresh includes one of those godawful "threaded displays" plopped across the entire dash. Yuck!

Someone mentioned that the "new" yellow is a metallic tintcoat whereas the older version by the same name was not. So it may very well have a different look once on a C8.

It's already on the touch screen, no move needed.

The wheels are different. Thanks for posting.
My '21 is a Z51 and I'm on the list for a '25 Z51. But I'm not loving that rear spoiler..

Just my opinion of course, however I feel they hit a home rum with the current Z51 spoiler design, too bad they had to go mess it up.

Default New wing and new wheels look good to me

I like the new high wing and new wheels. I'm also looking forward to the new paint colors.

I’m a simple man, 20 spokes are still the only decent option imho… those for $1500 or save it for aftermarket is still the way to go. Far as spoilers I’m content with the low profile z51 as well. The high wings only look ok to me if you are going all out racer styling with the aggressive front splitter and rocker options.

and they will keep missing it, cause they just want old farts to buy them for some reason. They could easily change the whole color wheel, but let’s keep 10 different shades of gray, blues, reds, and bring back old colors. Gm you suck

I agree. They could have added the new spoiler as an option and left the current design alone.....but they didn't..

You have good taste. Dark emerald metallic greens are the best greens.

I realize that what I mean is if the wall is removed I doubt they will replace it with physical controls for AC , heated seats, vented seats, etc. I detest controlling those things on touch screens.
