It's nice, with a power hard top and exactly the same luggage space as the coupe. Furthermore, the way the top stows means that you aren't using up luggage space like the coupe's targa top does. 77 pounds heavier (not bad), you give up the nice view of the engine, and you give up more 7,500 United States dollars:

For road-trippers like ourselves, this is an attractive proposition.

JUST LIKE A '57 FORD :-) BUT A LOT BETTER LOOKING.

I DON'T CARE FOR THE TUNNEL VISION TO THE REAR. THE MOST ANNOYING THING TO ME ABOUT MY VERT IS THE POOR REARWARD VISION. THAT AT LEAST GOES AWAY WITH THE TOP DOWN.

Agreed. It'll be interesting to see how much they affect vision when you are actually in the driver's seat. Of course, Zora didn't seem to mind …

Being a coupe guy I like the look of seeing the tricked out engine in the back under glass....... that goes away with the Vert..... but its a hell of an engineering job that GM did on it. No more Rag Tops......

The whole car has got mad engineering...... going to have to start saving my pennies and saving my dime's...... hope they make a Grand Sport.......

I love the look of the C8 R....... that thing is going to kick ass....

I think your odds are very good: 2022 or 2023.

I am not a convertible person... or, not enough to justify a C8 vert.. I will stick with the coupe.
