Default Only 2 seats?!?! Ugh, what a design fail. Count me out

Let alone only 2 cupholders. Wow we needed 6 cupholders for super big drinks. I can't believe the base model doesn't have the z51, 3LT, front lift, and all the aero for under 60k? What a ripoff. Doesn't have a manual? What do I do with my left foot? Poll, which of you are installing the grocery net? MUST HAVE. Poll for all the sub 5ft tall guys, do you think they'll offer a booster seat? If not, that's not fair and very shallow scoping for marketing. I wonder how fast it'll go around the Indy 500 oval track, anyone have info on this track time? It's important to me. Runflats?! Haven't they learned we want factory drag radials? Which interior color is best? Shame they don't off **** carpeting. I'm disappointed in the weight and 0-60 time for no reason. I'm just disappointed and have extremely high expectations. Sheesh, some of these posts

I want a hand crank starter so I can be totally immersed in the driving experience.

How long before Chevy comes out with the Shaq option for size 22 shoes, 325+ lbs of body weight, 7'1" + size drivers & a big gulp cup holder. What were they thinking not building a car for everyone
C8 Looks like a great car I am sure there is more to come

Some of these posts are so useless I shake my head ! one guy was complaining about how the doors were sculptured at the bottom! Somehow he figures he knows better than the engineers that have put the car through countless hours of wind tunnels to get it right ! wait until you get some guy complaining about the mirrors .8 degrees to the left !!! And the truth is most of these guys that are finding flaws and complaining can't even afford one and think what they are driving is somehow better, Oh yeah this other guy also complaining about the weight in another useless thread and somehow if the car was 69 lbs lighter that would have made a difference to most buyers !

Did you not catch the sarcasm? I’m honestly curious, not trying to be a jerk.

I did , but it seems geared towards the guys who are angry for the manual being taken away , a lot of it going on lately and its uncalled for.

Let us raise hell for the manual , it doesn't affect the DTC or auto guys one bit

I watched the Reveal and was very disappointed when I realized there was no cassette player like found in the C4.

How the hell am I supposed swap between my Donna Summer cassettes and the sountrack to Grease?

C8 FAIL!!

Next thing someone will tell me is that they moved the engine behind the seats!!

Honestly I do agree. There had to of been time/money/marketing constraints that played into their decision to opt out of it. They really crammed some serious engineering and technology into this one-off new platform and certainly did their best to make the most out of resources, so I kinda understand the direction they took. I truly believe they blew it out of the water and am thoroughly impressed. Now, I am personally a manual fan as all of my cars are stick, and all my past favorites have also been manual. But the post was actually more geared at the overwhelming majority of outlandish complaints/expectations. Some are laughable. The manual remark kinda just spontaneously spewed onto the thread along with the other nonsense.
