Has anyone noticed that the side profile proportions of the C & D render seem somewhat similar to the Cadillac Cien (or is it just me)? Assuming C & D is correct, is this coincidence or just GM leveraging some previous mid-engine design work?

I'm not so sure. The C7 Stingray debuted as the 2014 model year, and the first C7 Z06 was a 2015 model. If they follow the same release cadence, and the C8 debuts as a 2020 model, you will be able to order a C8 Z06 in less than 3 years.

One thing I do like is that it appears they moved the mirrors farther forward and the spindly
stalks are lookin' like a Testarossa (sorta). The only complaint I have concerning the C7 is
the mirror position. Too much head turning required to get a good picture of what's going on behind you. I'd bet none of this is correct in the rendering, but improved side mirrors would be nice. I know, I know, who cares what's behind you! Just mash and keep it WAY behind you. And I do.

I've been trying to set my wife's side view mirrors correctly for 19 years. She thinks I'm just an A-hole that won't stop messing with them

MikeG,
I know you better than that. You are just a kind person trying to keep his wife safe and sound by adjusting her door mirrors properly.
My having driven long haul, tractor with doubles, learning how to drive 1000% with just side mirrors, you bet that their adjustment is critical!

No surprise there...without all the Federally-mandated safety bits that gave been added since the C6 came out, I'd say that stat is safe. I remember when I bought a 370Z in 2009 it was smaller than a 359Z and added a carbon fiber driveshaft, aluminum doors, aluminum front and rear hatch...and still came in about 200 lbs heavier than the 350Z.

Thank goodness this finally came out! Now we no longer have to wonder or guess how the ME is going to look like!!
Looks really nice.

Just redesign that rear fender inlet so it slants forward instead of backward! The way it is now with the backward slant makes the side of the car look disjointed.
