Default New interior fully uncovered





Seems new "handle" goes to HVAC center vent whereas old button wall went up to middle of screen height.

It'd be a great question for the designers / engineers that folks should have been able to discuss at the bash... you know at an interior update design presentation... oh wait.

Looks nice. Not that big of a change, in my opinion.

Disagree 100%

New screen to far left to keep key temps up (or whatever you want) which is great on track. New center option with less clutter given new left screen. Larger right screen as it was too small after Google UI update which stole 20% of the already marginal screen (drive a '24 or '25 to see). Much better placement of phone charger and easier use of mode selector. Cup holders are a wash to me.

Valid points. I didn't look closely enough.

Hey Rapid - all those ney sayers owe you an apology - you were right!
I like it - right step in the evolution of design - but not enough for me to trade my 23 Z - I really like my wall.
Where is the mode selector? Can't see in picture. Is it under the grab handle?

Decent change, nothing to lose ones mind over. Those cup holders dont look to be able to be covered away which I do not like but look better than the Cobalt level plastic currently there.

The larger screen is nice but not life changing, temp controls for passengers actually look to be less accessible than before. The O **** bar is a nice add for sure though.

The far left screen will have some nifty info though!

Let's see how long this thread lives. @RapidC84B this may be short lived, good thing I took a couple snips...

I like it. It's essentially the CT5 33" screen split into 3 sections. So it does give the C8 it's own distinct dash display keeping the sports car cockpit feel, but at the same time giving the benefits of the widescreen display

Lol… you don’t believe real pics and all the spy photos and the parts diagrams?

My guess / hope is because there’s a new LT3 cross plan DOHC 550 horse engine coming too.

I am fine with push rod V8, just need to get to 7000RPM and 520-550HP. Shouldn't be that hard to do. I wouldn't be super surprised.
