Glasses will fit in the dual cup holder, but then you can't put any drinks in the holder. The main console compartment can also hold a pair of glasses or two.
1 MONTH REVIEW OF C8
- Thread starter ABC
- Start date
Awesome review! Super happy to see so many C8 owners are absolutely enjoying their new toy. I really believe the C8 has brought back the heat for Corvettes (if it's ever faded), and it just makes us love driving again!
The heat for Corvettes and the love to drive has always been there and always will be with the tried and true especially. The C8 just brought a different demographic who actually, if money was not a factor, many would just as soon be driving a Lambo, McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche or Jaguar. GM is hitting a home run with the C8 and it's ability to cut into that market. Now they just need to get their ducks in the right row and figure out how to satisfy market demand. We still have lots of new C8 wannabe members who indicate if they have to wait too many years, they will be buying 911's or R8's. Look after the people who got you there and bailed you out when you got into trouble first. Just my opinion.
Absolutely. This microchip problem is not really helping here, but I do hope the production line gets back to normal soon, and let's satisfy the market demand as you said.
Except that R8 has about 6 month wait list and 911 is about a year. A quick perusal of R8 shows dealer ADM of about 20% on a jump the line new one and the price is about $200,000. A used 2017 911 GTS is $197000 plus taxes.
Not certain that even with ducks in orfer that GM is able to mandate a back to normal with the parts supply line. I think the delays are significantly caused by outside forces. Almost every manufacturer from toilet paper to GM is suffering, just not all equally. Happy Motoring!
Given the demand, unless GM expands production capability, they are going to have a hard time meeting that demand, microchip problems or not. They are averaging (other than a couple blips), 174 to 184 units per day, which is almost exactly (if not slightly more) units per day than each of the C7 years of production. If the dream of supplying to Europe and Australia in substantial numbers is ever to be realized without robbing North America, they badly need a plant expansion.
Hopefully GM can expand, however, without parts, and all the big three are suffering the same lack of parts and chips. Expanding the plant may not provide the relief you seek…Happy Motoring!
