I can buy a 6.0 LQ4 from a scrapyard, put a cam and a set of heads on it, and sling it a C4 Corvette for about £12k all in (including the car) – and it'll make 460bhp. Would it perform better than either? No, not by a long stretch.

There's only one thing that you do to a C4...

'vette. Kart.

That looks superb!

Think it looks awesome, The interior looks really weird and I hate the steering wheel.

Australia only though? For now....

Lack of UK dealers will be the issue for the UK. But maybe an independent might import some. As a buyer you'd probably want a local franchised dealer though.

Looks nice in those pics, but then I saw it from this angle and it kind of ruined it a bit...

True, but nothing's going to look great with a wet blanket standing in front of it.

It's not going to be £60k in the UK.

That looks fantastic externally but the dash and centre "console" looks cheap and nasty.

keylion · 19 Jul 2019 at 20:44

That looks great. I think the interior looks pretty good too. I was expecting it to be terrible after reading the comments on here.

mrk · 19 Jul 2019 at 20:49

It looks quite vile inside and out. Rear is way too busy, steering wheel centre is too big.... It doesn't stand a microscopic chance in the styling department compared to the European competition. Chevy basically took the Honda approach which is a shame.

Malevolence · 19 Jul 2019 at 22:14

All convertibles too, I like that.

Nasher · 19 Jul 2019 at 22:17

Supercars ending up all looking the same.

Lopéz · 20 Jul 2019 at 03:47

Haha, those BUTTONS! Are you supposed to be able to go for one of them on the move?

<everyone> I hate touch screens in cars with options buried in menus.
<also everyone> I hate all these buttons.

Looking forward to reviews of this car

Liking this Bronze colour.

chroniclard · 21 Jul 2019 at 13:28

Looks ok from a few angles but pretty horrendous from most.

Jokester · 21 Jul 2019 at 13:29

Sounded tepid in the Jay Leno vid.

That bronze colour looks seriously good! Shaping up to be an incredible amount of car for the money.
