Wow - I'm loving the new C8. I think they nailed the look, performance and even the base MSRP is all but unbelievable. I currently have an '18 C7 Z51 and love it to death. Not sure if I should trade in or start a small 'vette collection! I have to admit the taillights on the C8 look just a tad 'Camaro-ish', ('16 & '17 years I think were a bit similar) but seriously, if this is all I can complain about then I think GM is onto something big. I'll probably wait for a 2021 model so they can work out any bugs found in the first year and I REALLY hope any suspected price gouging by the dealers is no longer in practice by then.

Exactly. It's not that I'm against BMW - it's just that what made the former Supra was the Toyota engineering behind it. Taking the Toyota out of the Supra was a poor move. They should have called it a different model if they needed to expand their line or want another offering under their label. Then and if feasible, build an in-house built Supra the right way. (possibly borrow a powertrain from their Lexus division / F series)

It doesn't appear so. I'm reading more & more articles to the contrary. This has typically been the case no doubt, but the positive attention that the good dealers get appears to be worth their time. It seems as they are finally seeing the bigger picture. (But there will always be some dealers that price gouge for 'high demand' vehicles. It's unfortunate)

This is exactly what I'm thinking. While I'm confident that the build quality will be good, seeing that it's an all-new model, I'd rather wait a year for a 2021 so any issues can be addressed in the first model year. It may cost a bit more in '21, but it would give me peace of mind.
