You need to do some more research, The EPA applied a new correction factor beginning in the 2017 model year, which dropped the base C7 manual’s ratings from 17/28/21 to 16/25/19. Contrary to what your headline says, the new C8 is rated better than the outgoing C7.

I think the new Ram with the 8" touch screen is my sweet spot for buttons/knobs vs. screen. It’s still got knobs for all of the things that should be knobs, particularly temperature. It drives me nuts when temperature is two buttons (or, heaven forbid, touchscreen) because turning it all the way down or up stops being

Good! You don’t have to be a worker (who I agree they market it to) to like to wear gloves when it’s cold. That’s my issue. I want the fucking buttons.

Maybe I’m just an old man sitting on his porch shaking his fist at “those damn kids”, but I really don’t want an ipad sized infotainment center screen dominating my dash, especially one that is going to be that bright during night driving. 

Yes — even if they’re ultimately electronic behind the scenes, it’s the necessary tactile feedback that matters. It’s the difference between taking my eyes off the road for 0.2 seconds or 2-3 seconds.

How do they honestly expect people to pick and select the proper icons without taking their eyes off the road for an extended period of time? Just as I think these things can’t get any worse, the newest version from the next manufacturer just seems to have even more buttons.

C7. I daily’d a Z51 Stingray for over 2 years ( only traded it to start my C8 nest egg). Wonderful car in all 4 seasons. I’ve sat in the new Supra but not drove it. The interior of the two are about equal, at least at the 2LT trim. At the 3LT trim the C7 is a nicer place to live daily. Lot of hard plastics in the bimme

I’ve gone dark every chance I get with my interfaces. I’ve been doing it ever since Microsoft let you tweak your UI with a custom pallete. So if 20+ years is a fad... *shrug*   I am a programmer though, so your mileage may vary.  

In the case of 2018 it was the year that the changes in tax laws allowed them to bring more of their overseas cash back to the US

No, they want to keep the profits and not pay taxes anywhere: not in the US not in Asia, not in Ireland. Please Apple, choose where to do it, but do it.

So apple shouldn’t be taxed in the EU because their products were developed in the US, but they also shouldn’t be taxed in the US because their HQ is in the EU.  Makes total sense. 

How about a variant with less ugly?

The C8 Corvette is going to be such an incredible problem for this car.

Dont like that yellow but the proportions and just general design flare is so much more sumptuous on the new C8 than the NSX it’s sad. Love the new stingray in blue or orange.

The car nobody is buying.

For me at least:

I normally don’t like to go “reverse sexism” but this idea that showing Brienne crying somehow makes her weak makes me angry.  I am a woman, and I frequently cry when I am frustrated/angry. Emotions don’t make me weak.  

So you think that showing women being raped is totally okay as *entertainment* because of the historical accuracy.

Thank you!
