It's funny, I think the reserved styling of the GS makes it timeless. And the F version is spruced up just enough to make it a bit sportier to keep it from being like every other GS. If I didn't want to be the only owner of my car and keep it forever I'd have purchased a used GSF. And a new one would have been out of my price range.

While i like the exterior styling of the GS, i prefer the interior of the IS...especially where the CD and ***** are located and shaped

Default 2022 C8 Corvette - Rapid Blue on Black
Probably not going to happen but a Chevrolet dealer emailed me Saturday evening with an offer to buy a new LT1 C8 for $68K, Rapid Blue on Black. Dealer was closed Sunday and today but I'll be calling tomorrow to see if it's a legit offer or not.

Is there mark up on the C8? That would be a great car!

I'm thinking there is a small one as the MSRP shows $64K, but I'll find out for sure tomorrow. Vehicle is in transit.

As I suspected the email was an automated offer response - called the dealer this morning and was told the car in transit is pre-sold. Just as well, I would feel more secure with the reliability of the Lexus IS 500 - now if I could just get a surprise response from one of my Lexus dealers saying that they have my car in transit

I hope whoever bought it comes here and realizes that he was taken for a ride, and not just in a Lexus!! Did he get the Enkei wheels on the LE? Lol
