I wonder how many generation 8 Corvette owners are there that absolutely hate the "wall". There's no way I would buy ANY car if I hated anything about.

Whether it stays or not, I've got my MY24 and won't buy another....not in this lifetime.

Criticizing bad designs doesn't provide any information about the critics...I daily my C8

There have been things I've hated about almost every car I've ever owned. C8 is a good car with 3 flaws. The wall, the real tail lights and the lack of manual transmission + delicate DCT.

Default Yeah not a fan of auto

The majority of the buttons that are on the wall I have never even touched once in my car.
I dislike how auto (not just in c8 but most cars), ramps up the fans too much, I prefer a gentle breeze. It'd be nice if some a/c designer decouples auto temp from fan control

Of course, no auto is perfect. I just can't see my self buying any car with a design or feature that I would say I hated.

​​​​​I think it's the best car Chevy ever produced.

That's a lot different tune than:

I believe that a refresh, exterior or interior or engine will happen when new sales justify the cost. Right now, there does not seem to be any sales issues that need to be addressed by refresh.

I mean to be fair to the OP, @johnodrake makes a good point however i think the opposite?

I think if GM were, when actually they have already, priced these corvettes in a tier we're not familiar with, wouldn't these higher costs justify addressing something customers have complained about? I know we already saw a MY25 z06 with the wall but we did not see the ZR1 yet. There's always that "punchers chance" so i wouldn't say there's a 0% chance of it happening. There's a chance with anything in life. Even if it's miniscule.

I personally don't think it'll happen but i believe these higher costs of these cars that have elevated this brand, this generation to new heights, perhaps it warrants more drastic changes coming soon before they close the curtain on the C8 generation.

Never know.

The changes have already been made though GM won't dribble them out until sales demand it.

You need fan control in order for auto climate to work properly. Fans ramp up to get the internal temp of the vehicle to the preset temperature. The fans ramp down when it reaches the set temp and modulates based on the internal temp of the car and requirements. If you don't care about keeping it set at a specific temperature then just disable it and keep the fans on low all the time. The tradeoff is the car will be either warmer or cooler than a preset temp would keep it, but that's the tradeoff.

I use auto climate on all my vehicles and think it works really well. My wife on the flip side does not understand it and is constantly turning dials and increasing and decreasing fan speeds for no logical reason that I understand other than it provides some sort of comfort to be able to futz around with them. Maybe it's that feeling of being in control. When driving at Ron Fellows they tell everyone to set the control to auto and max AC to try to keep the car as comfortable as possible while tracking in the heat. In that case I hardly had an issue with the fans blasting cold air the entire time.

I believe there is a maximum fan speed option in the settings.

A woman thing. My wife always Jack's with any thermostat. She expects instant change, then over corrects, etc. I try to explain how thermostats work but she won't listen. Her having a separate control on C8 solves the problem for me!
