2008 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible - Notable Features

In addition to improvements to the drivetrain, the Chevrolet Corvette sports several other changes for the 2008 model year, most of which center on improving the car’s refinement.

The centerpiece is the new optional leather-trimmed dash. This is a seriously nice addition to the Corvette’s interior, which otherwise is awash in hard and cheap-feeling plastic. The leather covers this up, with straight seams, two-tone in either our car’s Linen or a darker Sienna color, and with “Corvette” embroidered above the glovebox. The leather trim is also on the doors and the driver’s side of the center console. All models get a few new interior trim pieces, including a new “Cyber” patterned center console trim. Keyless entry and ignition is standard, as are luxury features such as OnStar and XM satellite radio, auto-dimming mirrors and an iPod/MP3 jack on all vehicles except those with a navigation system.

Outside, split-spoke cast aluminum wheels are standard, while forged aluminum wheels are optional. Two new colors are also available: our car’s Jetstream Blue Metallic or Crystal Red.
