Chevy/GM could have put a Malibu 2-screen dash layout in the Corvette to save money. How special would a Corvette owner feel if his Corvette had the exact same dash layout as in a Chevy Malibu?

Also, in 3 out of the 4 custom modes shown, a “large”, “dial-like gage” is shone “right in the center”, right where it should be. It appears to be a tachometer or speedometer depending on what mode is selected. From what is shone, only in track mode does the dial gage disappear and is replaced with large numbers.

I'll take the Corvette's, integrated, 2-screen, dash layout and configurable dial-like gages over BMW's ID8 any day.

Considering the 2-series in BMW's "entry" line (at least in NA), there should be some expectation to cost cutting. I suppose M4 owners may have a gripe, or if this were to make it's way into the 8-series...but considering the c8 is "the" halo car for Chevrolet, everything should be special about it.
