You just read someone's opinion... If you look you will find many with the direct opposite opinion. If you hold back enough military aide, you can get someone to tell you that Your C7 is the nicest C7 on the planet.

Don't know and don't care... maybe, the C8 Forum people would be more enthused with such differences.

Its always good to listen to everyone's opinion no matter how skewed it might be. Be careful taking opinions to the bank, not much interest is gained.

I would think (and hope) that hood is shorter and lower which should be an improvement. If not file this under C8 design fails
