Looks too much like other cars
I am mixed on the overall design but am very disappointed at how many styling cues were borrowed from other cars. It is so hard to look at the Vette without seeing Audi, Ferrari, Camaro, Aston, and GTR everywhere. Corvettes for the most part have always been very unique and not very similar to other cars. It feels as if the design team got lazy and went overboard with how much they borrowed.
Exterior: headlights - Audi and Ferrari, wheels - Audi, tail lights - Camaro
Interior: screams Audi particularly the R8. The chrome accents on the window switches and parking brake, the *****, and specifically the handle that runs down out of the dash on the right side. Steering wheel - acura / civic
It just doesn't feel unique enough.
