Default Best View of the C8 yet from Jalopnik

At the ring. Looks like I need to put the C7 on the market about now...

They need some screening on the side vents to keep small animals out. I hope this isn't the final production version.

Such posed shots. These are no accidents. Do I see manual interior door latches? That side scoop has a fake piece on the top side.

GREAT looking car. Nice job GM.

Not necessarily better looking than the C7, but different, a little more exotic. I like both cars.

Looks great! I hope the marker lights don't stand out like that with the wrap off.

Side marker lights are tack ons. Rear taillights are for legality. I don't think the headlights are the final assemblies either. Nothing about the lights are integrated. I believe both the C6 and C7 were the same at this stage.
