Who is considering the 2020 Corvette?

[uniqueMR]

Interesting and very attractive starting price of $60K. Cannot beat on the price.

But sorry guys GERMANS won't let me leave

[afadeev]

Man, this is super tempting.

Until earlier this year, I had never owned an American car.
Then Tesla replaced my i3.
Now C8 might replace the M3.

Can this be happening?

Servicing the car will be more complex and costly. Its too bad they didnt announce a preferred ownership program tailored for premium service and care for the vehicle to give owners a better dealership experience.

What's the difference between buying a new Chevy and a new BMW?

Outside of the Japanese brands, I can't think of any performance car that has had flawless launch.

Agreed - the last generation Corvette was pretty decent for reliability. Never had any issues during my short 4 years of ownership. My main complaint was the super low driving position and gaping blind spots - which hopefully are addressed in this version.

I currently have an M3 CS, and I'll strongly consider the C8 after my lease runs up.

Just bought a 2018 Alfa 4C Spider in late-April, and it it a super engaging to drive, but with that said, the 2020 Corvette is way more car. I normally hate American cars but would have no hesitation getting one...and that’s saying a lot given my penchant for European cars.

GTV, not Giulietta, and rumored to be more like 640hp with mild hydrid technology similar to the LaFerrari. Should be awesome, but suspect even the C9 Corvette arrives well before the GTV knowing Alfa’s propensity to delay new vehicle launches.

your first paragraph is obvious as with any car manufacturer, not just Chevy.

You second part, i'd have to somewhat agree on the backend, i believe the vette customers should have an overall different experiece tailored to them instead of pulling up next to a cruze in the service bay. I'll be taking my c7z in for service next week for the first time, i'll see how that goes.

[speedmaster20d]

man I can't resist this one...it checks all the marks and a great starting price too.

for now I need 4 doors and a large trunk but I am really thinking about the vette...

congrats to the engineers, job well done

Agree, the American brand dealership experience leaves much to be desired when compared to bmw. But then again, the cars are considerably less expensive and cheaper to maintain so I guess it makes sense.

[six-n-twins53]

Never ever considered a vette. I'm listening now!

[Darth One]

I don't know if I'll actually end up with one, but the fact that other automakers - not just GM - keep coming out with such gamechanging and compelling performance cars today makes me much less sad and disappointed whenever BMW makes yet another decision that I hate.

Variety of options and legit, affordable competition is great. Performance automakers should be forced (every generation) to sink or swim, not rest on laurels. Make the products better, address enthusiasts, or wave the white flag and go make SUV's.

Vette visualizer was over capacity this a.m. when I tried it.

[icegrill]

It's a mini rarri, but still American..... soft pass.

The visualizer has been over capacity since it launched. This thing is going to sell like hotcakes.

i just got in..pics are limited and garbage resolution, and animations near non-existent.

but at least you can get a sense of interior/exterior colors and options.

Very impressive!! Had a 2006 Z06 with no problems. Hated the service though. No loaners! Still very tempting.

[amw896]

Almost certain the new vette is going to be my next car. At this price point, I don't even care if you see more of these than mustangs. The german brands are no longer leading the pack in terms of innovation and are way overpriced.

[NCThreePedals]

I'm intrigued but still a Chevy and it gives me a mental block to deal with GM and to support them.

When I had a Boss 302 I took it to the Lincoln dealer because dealing with the Ford dealer was a mess (burnouts, stalling, grease on leather, etc)

Granted that's luck of the draw but luxury companies tend to pamper and take care of you more

it's time to get over this narrative. it's getting old.


so many great automobiles to choose from these days, open your eyes, you're missing out.

that being said, i would never consider a regular vette, z06 is a must lol.

Dude. Have seen that grill on the new M3 render? Horrendous.

Next Gen M4 is out for me if it's gonna look like that.

Count me in on the new Vette!

Looks sick!

My wife is in shock that I'm considering a Vette for my next car but it's happening
