C8 Interior
Everyone else:WOW SO MANY BUTTONS (pronounced Boo-tonnz)
Me: THERE’S NO WHERE TO EVEN PUT A F*(&@#& STICK.

I noticed this too. It would be a total redesign of the counsel/knob interface.

Not promising for us manual fans. :/

Buy your C7 manuals now!

Shouldn’t the steering wheel spokes be up so it at least matches the direction of the corvette flags? It’s all I can see.

Don’t even get me started. 2 spoke wheels are terrible.

I like the interior. I like buttons and wont be bu ying one anyway so the lack of a manual is no nevermind to me.

Looks claustrophobic in there.  I’d have to see it in person to guarantee I’ll never buy one anyway

Steering wheel is upside down and no where to put my McCaffe.

I feel like figuring out the buttons is going to be a pain in the arse.

I doubt it. There’s spacers every 5 butons and I think there are actually less than the C7.

Theres room for 2 McCaffes in the console under that lid 1000000%.

Well...that ends any chance of there ever being a right hand drive version.

I’m getting claustrophobic just looking at that photo.

Do you think dialing down the center engages launch control, or does it just set the engine bay on fire,   or both ?

If you replaced the infotainment mouse/scrollie shit with a shifter, it would be just about optimal

I just wanna drag my finger across the right side and see what happens

They’re bringing back Three on the Tree!

Actually, maybe it goes where that storage compartment lid  is.

The console looks really wide. Too wide for what is currently there. I bet they put a little thought of how to get a stick in there. Not saying they will, but it could probably fit.

As the the interior as a whole, this is the first time since the C3 that I really like the inside of the corvette. The wheel is not my favorite, but it works in this. The whole thing looks like a cockpit (their intention, no doubt), and that really speaks to my inner 13 yo. I cannot believe I am saying this, and I hold my right to change my mind when I see real pictures, but well done, GM.

OTOH, the nice interior worries me. I now think it’s going to be priced very high.

But think about the children!

What happens in 15 years when you can’t buy a c manual Corvette for under 20k anymore?

I guess manual car loss the cubby, which is probably actually the cup holders.

This of course is wishful thinking in reality there just won’t be a manual trans option.

The i3 2 spoke is divine.

This is to make the boomers buying this feel at home, just like their old Impala.

It's definitely strange, but I really dig that button placement

I think C8 buyers will have a hard enough time figuring out where the engine is, let alone how to configure the satnav to take them to their urologist appointment.

Unless they pull a Porsche and make everything gloss black and/or touch.

No manual is planned for this one as far as we know.

Maybe it calls OnStar and reports the owner as having a stroke?

I feel like there’s a large no man’s land between the driver and the passenger, and I’m curious about the passenger footroom in this thing.
