I am skeptical of the mid engine design but am still curious to see it.

9:30pm? Most of the Corvette's target demographic will be in bed by then.

I'm skeptical of what they'll do to the price. Hope they don't price it out of poor man's supercar range, like they did with the NSX.

If the leaked photos are true and you are a fan of buttons, you will love the interior

Are they going to get to the point? Is this a car reveal or NASA reveal?

It reminds me more of a Lotus than a Vette.

I don't know what that whole time-wasting tangent was about. I don't care about NASA right now- show the car!

Starting price under $60k - that was surprising.

Is the 0-60 under 3 seconds for the ZR-1 or base model?

C7 and now C8 each took some pretty big leaps to looking more European than each of their previous renditions.

Good job on the price, I've long believed there's no reason sports cars should be so much more expensive to build than other vehicles. Sell them cheap at high volume so more people can enjoy them.

Personally I'd rather build a C6 or C7 for boost and keep a stick shift. I just hate driving automatics, DCT or not.

They hit this out of the park, especially with only increasing the starting price 5K over the 2019.

I'm sure it will grow on me but that just isn't a corvette. The c7 was drastic but it still looked like a corvette. We've lost the bat mobile look.

Due to the great deals you can get on the 2019 Vettes, I looked into getting one, but I don't think I could get it in my garage without ripping the nose off coming down my driveway.

Looks like Ice-T's wife with all that bolted on ass. Not a fan. May look better in person, though.

The C8 Ferrari. There's also a hint of NSX there as well.

Love it! It looks so much better to me than the C7.

I don't lament the loss of the manual. I found on my C6 that on a twisty road I would just usually leave it in third gear and not have to shift anyways. It's not like we are dealing with small motors that have to be kept on the boil.

I want.
Under 60 is dirt cheap.
The line of buttons between the driver and passenger are strange but no deal breaker to me

I'm hopeful that it will grow on me over time, but my first impression is not good.
