C8? They're predicting what a 2022 model will look like?
I would have thought the Mr. Fusion generator would have allowed smaller packaging.

I love it but it has a problem...
It can't be built for the mASSES of America. American cars have to be made for the average American in which case means someone who is fat. Mid engine cars are generally a little "difficult" for your average morbidly obese fat guy to get in and out of. Ever see a 250 lbs+ guy in a Gallardo? If you have been in any of those types Ferrari/GT40/Lamborghini/R8 then you know how much lower they are than a corvette not to mention the seats are so much more snug.
I wish these pics were true but GM needs to sell the car to more than a few thousand people a year.
And the grill is the exact same from the Stingray concept.

Yes. I have definitely been in a Gallardo. I wouldnt call myself fat (most people wont) but i am definitely right around 250. The gallardo surprised me.

I certainly hope the C8 is better looking than what is pictured by the OP. It's fun to dream though... who knows what it will look like. I can't even think about the C8 with my growing anticipation about the C7 !
