The red or the gold. The silver looks like the trunk is caved in and the grey looks too wide in the front & back compared to it's middle.

The red and the golds are failures...

If the mid engine car does truly release, it's not going to be a mirror image of the traditional platform car. It's got to bring performance, but also appearance to the table, while modularly using many parts from the traditional car. You can guarantee a body redesign that has a strong C7 influence to show "kinship", but it's not going to be a mirror.

The gold car is embarrassing
The red car is plausible but very bland for a 150k car
The silvers are almost too radical, and plus you can't really see them.

I'd consider all these a fail.

The silver looks the most aggressive, which I like, but it doesn't matter, as I won't buy one.

It is a little early to vote on a C8, since I am still getting used to my C7. I haven't even supercharged it yet!!!

Not a real fan of any of them but if I had to choose I would pick the gray. BTW to the OP, you hit the jackpot with the top three hall monitors making comments back-to-back-to-back!

This looks totally AWESOME!....If this becomes available at a reasonable price point and I would fit into the cockpit, I'd buy it!

None of the ones in the post. Not what I see as original, maybe GM, if one comes to the table, will break the mold again.

The red one. I saw that same one with a rear view, and yes, it had ROUND tail lights.

None of them, glad these guys do not work for GM. We do need a C8 forum.

I think it'll look more like the Ford GT and the Acura NSX. Only so many ways to skin a cat.

If it is going to be $150k (which I do not think it will be: maybe $125k), it needs to be one of the more exotic looking ones. So, I think the silver or gray would do it for me. Would like more views of those two.

I totally agree. This is very cool. It looks radical enough to compete with the Ford GT.

The Motortrend back end is perfect! Looks familiar though! Is that a Lambo rear??
