[QUOTE="Zora, post: 146547, member: 4559"] Before anyone writes off the C8 because of its lack of practicality, GM has a really nice surprise in store for us when it is revealed. Sorry I can not share more, but if you want a public ex-GM figure’s recent confirmation, it was when Bob Lutz said on Autoline about six weeks ago, “that GM has solved the mid engine storage issue.” As to ease of entry and exit, we have the expertise of Shank who scaled from the only “hard fact known” measurement for the 2020 Corvette (it’s tires’ exact diameters), and with all his professional equipment, he scaled the height of the car and it is the same as the C7’s (within a 1/2” plus or minus). It’s height was separately confirmed to be about the same as the C7’s by separate, detailed work/calcs done by FVS. To save money, I believe that the cabin itself comes directly from the C7’s (maybe messaged a little bit, though with a completely new interior), and as GM knows that the average American is growing in size, the chances of the ME’s interior being any smaller than the C7’s is close to minuscule IMO. In fact, calcs made by talented folks indicate that if anything, the width of the ME is going to probably be wider than the C7. [B]Finally, what if due to better packaging, the interior cabin of the C8 is better and bigger than the C7’s?[/B] [/QUOTE]
