There’s nothing unique about it. The front end looks like a Ferrari, the ass end looks like a Camaro , the sides look like an Aventador, and the top slopes like an R8. The cockpit is for horse jockeys...really.

Performance...old people don’t drive fast.....lol....but enthusiastic people will enjoy it.

And if it’s really gonna be $60,000....you’re gonna get a $60,000 car. I wouldn’t be excited about that. Like any new car...especially an attempt at a mid-engine sports car (Screen shot this so you can prove me wrong)...but this car...it’s gonna have problems out the ass.

There is absolutely nothing special about this car folks.
A. Appearance is subjective, so we'll leave that one alone.

B. Not every Corvette owner is a 70 year old man that owns a dozen pairs of white penny loafers and pulls his pants up so high that he has to cut arm holes in them. I'm in my 30's.

C. Price doesn't always dictate quality or performance. IMHO, the aluminum and carbon fiber interior looks sharp and classy. As far as performance, I'll gladly take a car that is a fraction of the price and compete with the big boys. Just look at how the C7 ZR1 toasted the ~$500k Ford GT at VIR. The Corvette has always been a sports car/super car (ZR1) on a budget. Those are true bragging rights for GM when you can hang with cars that cost 3-4 times as much.
