I am on my 8th new Corvette when I see the new photos of the C7 it was at 1st glance a stunning new body style--It was sleek proportional and the body lines just flowed beautifully I was automotive pornography !! And i had to Buy one-
Looking at all the latest releases of the secret photos of the C8 I did not get the same feeling at all .
To me It looks like the front end of Prius with the short ugly squaty front end ( where as a Lambo has a longer sleeker front end) and the mid to back end of the car reminds me of my fathers Dodge Magnum wagon ! Sort of boxy and bo concept of flowing sleek lines--
We have to be honest Yeah we all want a mid engine Corvette but these photos of the C8 to me if not changed are hedious---- The whole side of the body lines have no flow as the C7--The front end again looks like a Prius--Maybe in 3-5 years the C9 will look much better--But as of now ?? I am hangin on to my C7 It is pure art and with it's perfectically designed body lines will be hard to beat with that ugly C8--

What a troll statement. Just go away. The C6 is a great car and imho the C6 ZO6 is quite the looker.

Show us in all your infinite wisdom where the fake body panels are. And since proof is needed for any statment on this forum, what exactly shows that the panels are fake, your sources, etc.

No, rsvette12 is right. The C7 is light years beyond the C6 in performance, style, and quality. The C6 is the reason I held onto my C5 until the C7 came out. The C8 is looking it it will continue the great strides GM made with the C7. Great proportions, style, and judging from the video from Germany, performance.

I think the biggest improvement with the C7 has been the switch gear and material quality.
I hope for the same level of improvement in material and quality in the C8.
That and a true DCT and get rid of the A8.
GM lied to all of us that the A8 was as quick shifting as the Porsche PDK.
That an absolute biggest line of **** that GM sold to many of us.
My 2016 Callaway SC 757 is a great car with a absolutely **** A8 transmission.
