So, how will they paint the MEs rear facia to reduce that ‘Big Butt’ look like some made worse trying to change the look on their C7s?
imo, it wasn't the big butt that ruined the c7 rear end, it was that they painted half of it in contrasting black and added a bunch of god only knows what and why doodads, choosing teardrop shaped grilles, and weird shaped lower extremities behind the wheels. there is none of that foolishness on the c8 rear end.from what i have seen of the c8, it looks like the contrasting portion is more like between 20 and 33 percent of the total, rather than 50 percent.
you can get rid of a lot of the big butt effect just by lowering the car.

Butts come in all shapes and sizes...My C6 had a big bold oversized butt but it was smaller then the backside of a C5, and far nicer looking .. My C7 has a tighter curved butt. Saddlebags aside, its much more pleasing to the eye. .But I don't know what to make of the C8. It appears to have a compacted super thick higher butt. A lot going on there but not to sexy from what I've seen so far. I think GM did a nice job trimming out the C7 butt.. Smaller appearance then previous models even though it really wasn't..

I'll give my opinion of the new C8 when ALL the camo comes off and GM officially reveals it. Until then, this is still nothing more than smoke and mirrors. What is amazing is all the folks saying "See, I told you", from BOTH sides. Much like todays politics.
Looks awesome, especially from the front-side angle...when the camo is replaced with paint I'm sure it'll look incredible especially for the price!
Interesting that GM has shown the car without tarp before the official reveal. They didn't reveal this much on the C7 even before 1/13/13. I thought this would be kept more under wraps since it should be a more revolutionary new gen.

I’m sorry but why does everyone act like we know the price of the car? NOTHING has been said about the price or even remotely mentioned by anyone at corvette or GM themselves.

lol on that note we don't even know if this is really a Corvette or even a GM. NOTHING official has been said! ;-)

The car does look good,
As for showing the car without the tarp this early...well ,
you can credit the advancements in psychedelic camouflage trickery for that...
high hideous rear spoiler,fake squared off tail lights ,and the usage of a flat white wrap,
the car almost looks invisible.
Brilliant.
