What's now coming in 2026

[Mr.Corvette]

Now pushed back from 2025 to 2026, I've had a couple of top dealers reach out to me to ask about this interior and what was going to happen?
I described this photo but didn't have an image of it until now. The wall of buttons has to go somewhere and as it was described to me from one of my sources, it will look like the OLED wrap around dash that is in the Escalade. The buttons will go where the current infotainment screen is. The blacked out area at the top of the steering wheel which is for Super Cruise in the Cadillac that gives hands free driving technology may make an appearance if this image if followed for the car.

I don’t think it will happen until C9

I would prefer hard buttons for controls. making every function infotainment controlled is asking for trouble when the system eventually takes a dump

 

[Mr.Corvette]

It's possible Denis. The question is are they going to bother doing the mid cycle refresh or not? The focus thus far with the C8 is bringing out new models and not doing any refresh. Most people like what they have already, so they may decide against it. As usual it's wait and see.

It seems the wall beside the passenger is still there. This was a major issue with my copilot and if it stays we would not buy.

Ya, that wall is useless. Get rid of that and have a more ergonomic console.

Like this one, right?

I don't like the touch screen for controls. Physical buttons/switches are safer as you can feel them instead of taking your eyes off the road to search for the appropriate icon. Can't use the touch screen if wearing gloves and if you go over a bumpy road, good luck trying to steady your hand to touch the icons. Technology is fine but overdoing it ... nope.

'Old farts', like I am getting to be, are going to have to learn voice commands.
"Hey Vette, turn the heat up, it's f'n cold in here!"
"Hey Vette, where's the next washroom, and the one after that?"

"Hey Vette, are these seats and upholstery bio-fluid resistant?"

(actually, Hey Google in my 2024 does most of that voice stuff already)

p.s. There are a whole whack of AI photoshopped "secret reveal" "amazing new interior" photos on the other Corvette forums.
Some clever "April Fool" folks came up with them.

If it were just a bit taller, you could offer a "Corvette selective driver/passenger hot tub option, with heat and massaging jets", for those long cruises.

If it was higher you could ignore your wife!

 

[MKC8]

Now why would I want to do that?

I find the height is just right now for my Wife to drive from the passenger seat.
Any higher and I may not hear all she has to offer.

Thanks for the info as always Mr C. ....

Not a fan of that pic ... call me crazy ... but I actually like the wall and the interaction with the push buttons .... put everything on screen and like mentioned before recipe for disaster

My wife loved the C7 grab handle on the passenger side of the consul and passenger door for when we got to through the twisties. They also kept me from puking when we did the ride along with instructors who pushed the car to it's limits at Spring mountain.
