I agree kind of apples and oranges thing, I wont compare against a boxster as i think different type vehicles.

Maytag spot on interior could use attention. Extra 3k might help adds to class.[/QUOTE]

I've never owned a Vette...Came close in '85 (glad I backed out!). My brother has had a few Vette's that I've been able to drive over the years...a '78 pace car, '86 and '92 coupes and lastly, a 2006 coupe. The 2006 is the first Vette that made me go wow! The build quality and performance of the car was orders of magnitude better that the earlier cars and kind of put them back on my radar (slightly).

I'm all for what Chevy does the Vette and would love to see this car in person and go for a drive.

One other thing. None of us that has experienced the 986 or 996 soft interior finish has a leg to stand on when dismissing Corvette interiors. I'm in the middle of stripping off all the peeling gray finish of my console parts right now on my 996. I'd have been 100% pissed if I'd bought one of these cars new and found out that if I could scratch my console if I looked at it the wrong way.

It's VERY disappointing how easily that coating scratches. I had a Ford Escort with better quality finishes.

I stripped my console and other plastic parts on my 986 a couple months ago. The plastic underneath was not a uniform color, so I had to use a concoction of black dye and acetone. Turned out very nice!

I would look pretty seriously at buying one of these in a few years after the hype dies down and some wealthy somebody wants to sell his or her 2021 vette with low miles
