NO Thanks
Throwing a different body on a Tesla X doesn’t make it appealing.

It's the first global market Corvette and I follow C8 owners from the UK, Germany, Japan, etc. The C8 is rarer and more exotic to them than the European supercars that we Americans consider to be exotic. So much so that they're selling their European sports cars for the C8.
One annoying thing about the C8 phenomenon is its Corvette halo effect. Very young car fans have taken notice but can't afford it so they're buying up C4-C6es with tons of YouTube videos centered on those generations cropping up in recent years. Prices on those have now jumped $5-10k compared to when I was looking at C5-C6 prices in 2020. Some of that is due to monetary inflation but a lot of that also has to do with C8 halo effect inflation.

I hate to tell you....the C7 did allot as well :P. And yes, I have seen many corvettes in many countries for years...it's not only the C8 IMO. As for that render....let's hope it's just a render.

I agree that the C7 did a LOT to further the Corvette brand. But the C8 has added significantly to it. And yes, if they made an SUV like the one in the OP, I would be interested.
more than 50 years ago even...
