Favourable Road & Track C8 Convertible Review

[gone]

Here's another positive review of the 2020 C8 convertible, by a respected publication. Aaron Brown liked it better than the Ferrari 458 Spider, "more fun than a base Porsche 911, more usable than a Lotus Evora GT, and just a much better car than the BMW i8":

The 2020 Chevy Corvette Convertible Is as Friendly as Mid-Engine Cars Get

The new Corvette is approachable and forgiving. And a joy to toss around on country roads.

"As for the convertible option, I'd probably save my $7000 and opt for the manually removable targa-roofed coupe. Not because there's anything wrong with the powered hardtop, but because I'd rather save $7000. But either way, you're getting an exciting exotic sports car on the cheap."

You could send a family member to school for a year for 7K USD...

Netsinah, is it a Spider or a Spyder convertible, I have seen both

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Sorry, I vote Spyder. I know of a casual acquaintance whose personalized licence plate depends on it...

`big fat rear end`? Guess I`ll put on the other `ASSMAN` plate on back or `KMYASS` one.

I've seen both spellings as well but I'll rely upon the manufacturer: you'll see it's "Spider" on the ferrari.com website. What a beautiful looking car! And only for $275,000.00+ and that's for a used 2015 458 Spider with under 10,000 km, according to what I'm seeing on autotrader.ca.

I wonder if they'd take my C8 on trade... .

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

The cool kidz spell it "Spyder". Jump on board or jump off...

 

[Rruuff Day]

How long before you spell your ride C ate.....
