They were delayed in production due to the Scamdemic. I've seen a couple around however

Somebody had a blue one at The Ridge on Friday, for a lapping day hosted by Hooked On Driving.

I spend a metric poop ton of time on the road and still have not seen one here. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it's next year before so.

A friend of mine went to The Ridge with Turn2 Lapping on May 22nd and was parked next to a C8 - he said the car had constant visitors checking it out, as I would imagine. Not many have seen one in the wild at this point.

Evergreen Chevrolet in Issaquah took in a couple. Both sold. Only saw the red coupe. If I hadn't been reading about it and perusing the forum for 18 months, it might have blown me away.. As it was I thought it was very attractive, if a little "busy" in places. I doubt if anyone over the age of 7 is going to mistake it for a Ferrari or a Lamborhini, but that's okay with me.Not that I'm ready to buy one.

They did have a used C7 GS convertible on the lot that was stunning. I did';t bother to ask how much.

It amused me to see all the employees wearing black masks. Almost suggested that car sales people are looking more than ever as we've perceived them for years.

i don't know. I once had someone roll down their window and ask me what kind of Ferrari I was driving. I had to do a double take since I was tooling around in my 95 Pontiac Firebird that day. You would be surprised just how ignorant the general populace is when it comes to identifying anything automotive.
