MotorWeek Thanksgiving Retro Marathon | Seasons 1-22 on shuffle (1981-2003)

MT Confidential” section April 2021 issue

"The C8 Corvette’s somewhat fussy styling was already locked and loaded when Michael Simcoe took over at GM Design Chief.

But sources in Detroit say the mid-cycle re-design Simcoe had originally planned for 2025 has been put on the back burner as GM pours money in its electrical vehicle program. However, inside say an interior redesign aimed at among other things fixing the array of buttons and switches cascading down the buttress on the right side of the center console has survived the bean counters. The redesigned interior will reportedly appear on 2023 C8’s."

all because of this?

they mess with the INTERIOR? and leave the EXTERIOR (the ugliest - most busy-boring exterior (to an uncorvettish extent) to a Corvette yet - probably even worse than the C5) untouched? 

this was the BEST interior ever in a production car! by far. 

they should just make the Indy or the CERV and adjust the current interior, and call it a C9.

there is ONLY 1 good line on the whole C8 exterior...the side intake. that is a design masterpiece.   

Interior is top notch. 

Exterior not so much.

  1. look at the sales. if you can make it better, fine. but dont ruin it for the sake of some naysayer BJ so called 'journalists', who have no clue about sports cars whatsoever. because whoever was criticizing THIS interior - has obviously no clue.
    if you want to change anything, try the exterior. cant ruin that one.

    or go the porsche way. do a new edition, with no central whatever the hell ppl think is wrong - and call it BJ edition. then check sales :)

The GM-X Stiletto, born in 1964, was a product of this era's boundless imagination. The Visionary Design The GM-X Stiletto was first unveiled at the 1964-1965 World’s...

1985 Audi Sport Quattro: The Group B Homologation Special

In Austria in 1980, just a year after four-wheel drive cars became eligible to compete in the WRC, Audi debuted the first Quattro rally car and forever changed the sport. Over the next half of the decade (and onwards, if you count the Pikes Peak specials), these Audis would be subjected to a period of rapid iterative evolution that led to the short-wheelbase Sport Quattro models that helped define the infamously fast and dangerous era of Group B rallying. The relatively lax nature of the Group B regulations gave rise to a number of downright ferocious cars from Audi’s competitors (most notable being Lancia and Peugeot), and while it was not the most successful nor technologically advanced of these top tier cars by the end of the Group B era, the Sport Quattro is a worthy poster child for the lot of them—being first to the punch has its advantages. The advent of the Group B class provided manufacturers with practically every leeway imaginable given they adhered to a basic s...
