Confirmed! 2025 Interior will be ALL NEW

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.

There's no perfect car, that's why
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.

Yeah not a fan of auto
I guess if you are the type that is messing with the climate controls constantly it would bother you. I leave the climate in auto and only rarely touch any of the buttons. I will turn everything off from time to time if the top is down and the weather is nice otherwise it's just auto/AC on. The majority of the buttons that are on the wall I have never even touched once in my car.

@Rapid Z So, what do you have to say for your "take it to the bank". Posts above show it ain't happening.

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.

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.

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!
