    Its the profile. The way she moves. She sings. She looks back at you , So, so cute.

    Notice the color of the A pillars. Does that mean that the convertible top will be offered in a black option with a regular colored body, in this case an orange body?

    ps: The profile looks more streamline , slimmer? My imagination?

      Nice video, thanks for posting.

      Interesting mix of components -- has the Z51 rear spoiler but no splitter. Guess they missed the Tadge's memo about aero balance.

      Edit: I guess that's the Morello interior? It's red and fully dipped.

          The guy knew enough to know it was a convertible, but not enough to focus on the part we need to know more about.

          This pertains to my interests since I'm down for one.

              It does look more streamlined for sure! That's what I always liked about the vert vette.

              They solved the "rag" problem, I think. W top up past corvettes were less attractive. I think it will be a hardtop conv (guessing). If so - it will be sweet.

              Just can't wait that long. LOL!

                The recessed center section of the decklid mimics that on the C7 'vert. I wonder why they're covering part of the moving roof cover in a gray wrap, rather than the camo:

                Gorgeous, indeed. One of these will be my choice.

                  Based on the capture from the teaser video, it looks like the HTV doesn't have a painted band of bodywork across the top of the windshield like the coupe does. So I'm thinking the A pillars may be black on all of them. Having a body color a-pillar just ....end.... at the top might look weird. I wonder if the roof itself will be body color, or maybe black? That could explain why they're keeping it covered until the reveal. (I sure hope it's body color.)

                  Edit: After looking at the photo below some more, I'm not sure about what I wrote (italics, above). I was thinking that band of gray across the top of the windshield, below, was under the glass, but maybe it isn't.

                      Would you guys just QUIT!!! I've been waiting for a ME Corvette since the 1970's and have been on 2 lists for the C8 for well over a year. You are NOT making the wait for the 'vert' any easier with all the videos, photos and speculation. I just might have to refrain from lookin' at the site for a couple of months. My buddies ordering and taking delivery on their coupes some time in the next 6 months won't make it any easier either....

                        Fooltorace, you have a long remainder of your life ahead of you. I see there are some who plan on getting a car, any car, ASAP, and then selling it when the model they really want, ZO6, convertible, etc. come on the market.

                        Remember the Heinz ketchup commercial, waiting for the ketchup to come out of the bottle, while Carly Simon sings "Anticipation".

                          well In Wiscinsin I wouldn't be able to do anything with a coupe in Jan, Feb or March so ............. I'll get my vert just in time for April showers hopefully.

                            Looks like the driver is once again possibly Harlan Charles.

                              Doc, that corroborates with our info separately learned that Harlan’s MVB at this time is an Sebring Orange HT vert.
