I like Corvette's and have had a few but this one, to me, looks to much like a Camaro. That's not necessarily a bad thing but although the new C8 design is OK I prefer the previous model(s) styling. Chevrolet going to a mid engine sports car is a pretty radical step so it remains to be seen what, if any, mechanical problems that sometimes plague new model vehicles are reported.
From what I have read the majority of the first production models have been sold to buyers that have been on a waiting list since last year and that dealers will be tacking on a $5k to $10k "premium" to the MSRP of remaining stock. I am waiting to see if the the C7 & C8 models will be discounted. Should find out by the beginning of the year.
