C8 Earns Motor Authority\u2019s Best Car to Buy Award<\/h2>\n

The awards for the Mid-Engine C8 Corvette continue to grow. The most recent was from Motor Authority declaring the C8 Corvette \u201cBest Car To Buy 2021\u201d! They tested performance, luxury, and electric vehicles to find the car they thought was the best of the best to buy and drive.<\/p>\n

Some of their editors thought the redesigned mid-engine Corvette was a shoo-in, but Editorial Director Marty Padgett challenged them to expand our definition of performance for the EV evolution underway. The Ford Mustang Mach-E crossover SUV proved to be quick, agile, and genuinely fun to drive. But the Corvette was more fun to drive by a wide margin.<\/p>\n

The Corvette offers all those traits, plus a sonorous V-8. Most importantly, it\u2019s the kind of car we want to own and drive. And the way it drives is what earned the Corvette the Best Car To Buy 2021 award.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of those cars that almost reads your mind when you drive it,\u201d Motor Authority contributor Brian Wong said after a drive. \u201cIf I wanted the nose to dive in, it would. If I wanted to hang on the power and get it to move around a little in the back, it would.\u201d<\/p>\n
