Buying new vs used

Personal opinion:

I have always been one to buy used because of how much cars depreciate in value within the first few years. However, I may be willing to purchase this car new. Reasons being:

- supposedly having a power train warranty up to 100k miles and including track use.
- new electronic features will be much more expensive to fix
- first time chevy has really ventured into the luxury department, how well will the reliability really be?

Other reasons in my head, but in general, I am not trying to smack talk the new corvette at all. I AM IN LOVEEEEEE, but with all of the new fancy features this car will have, i'm worried that there may be some quirks to work out for the first couple of years and even though Chevy hasn't really had a terrible track record for reliability, they haven't exactly had a good one. They really have no trcak record for electrical reliability because the corvette has always been a bare bone sports car as opposed to an electronic powerhouse sportscar with a touch of luxury.

Thoughts?
