The 2020 mid-engine Vette Stingray... what a gorgeous car at a bargain bin price (starting at under 60k). If it drives and sounds as well as everyone expects it will, I'll retain the G30 as the commuter and get me a manual Vette.

BMW and I are drifting apart, and I feel like the continued Lexusification effort is a bridge too far for me.
I guess no one has told you there will not likely be a manual Vette. NA V8? Yes. RWD? Yes. 0-60 in 2.8? Yes. Manual. No. Some say the chassis/frame design and oil sump (I believe) make it impossible in current form. Not sure this has been 100% confirmed/denied.

There is no such thing as a perfect car lol.
The jury is still out on the MT C8, but I'm sure we'll get confirmation soon enough.
