Most accurate C8 photos to date. Stop Drooling...
More teasers, but they seem to be pretty close to the design of the test car that's currently on the streets.

The problem with the artwork/renders of the exterior is it's a blend of 2 completely different (and at odds) styles.
I can't see that actually happening with the C8.

If that is in fact the *** end of the new C8, GM needs a new design lead. That rear fascia looks like ****!!

If you go back to the C7 renderings,Jalopnik was the closest by a mile...And they still looked horrible.They didn’t capture any of the beauty of the C7.
The majority absolutely hated the jalopnik renderings,
and then ,when the car was revealed ,the opposite happened,the majority loved the design.
You could only capture so much on a drawing.
Nothing so far looks better then the camo pictures.
The C8 is gonna be a looker,100%.

GM makes the drawings look awkward from various angles on purpose and then they allow the various magazines to out the sketches...
this has been been going on for decades...
still automobiles sketches are the best to date from the major magazines.
im in for anything close..

I think the whole car looks right except for the obviously pasted on C7 rear clip. Im guessing GM made them do that. We know the rear end is different by the photos of it at the plant. Let’s just say it’s a very good look at what the general theme of the car will be.

Far from most accurate rendering by Automobile in OP. Way too much C7 in it and more things that are not right.
Intreresting to look at, yes.

Lol they used a 2016-2018 Camaro SS front bumper, C7 upper rear bumper, and a lot of the center structure of the NSX. These magazines don’t put much effort into renderings anymore.

with this 110%. FVS' renders have been the most accurate; based on evidence and "inside info". Sometimes I believe that these publications have their graphic art departments purposely create something different than what's already been published... sacrificing accuracy for sensationalism. I get it. They're Just trying to sell magazines and/or get clicks... all good.
As many of us have been following developments closely/regularly, I think we've learned what constitutes actual "new and/or breaking news". IMHO, this article/render does not reflect either new or breaking news/information.

I swear these magazines toss out these sloppy renders on purpose. Just like the rest of them it has parts wrong that have been visible (not even covered) for over a year. The wheels are the only thing that's close.

Side profile...not bad! Rear and rear side profile.....NO!! Looks horrible plus it's basically a C7 rear end. So hopefully they're way off base!
