Pretty much discloses that the fake "lips" on the nose are, . . . well, fake.
Real nose is lower, and the maw isn't as gaping as some have feared.

So...any takers on that scoop now? This has to be the least camo'd car yet.
Otherwise, seems to be coming along nicely. I like the C5/C6 styled "trickery" treatment on the grille area.

Camo and some type of fill to throw the WHOLE car off. Look how distorted the shape is with it inplace. Crazy..
Having said that what a nightmare the xpel is going to be to keep the stone chips from happening lol..

I have to agree with you I think. Looking at it, it's a feature I think is hard to like. Gm has made some design cue errors lately, for sure...that caught them mass criticism (see camaro facelift, then the front bumper debacle).
That wing, indeed, does look...broken. Granted, unmasked and all one color it may be better but...if that's what we get....eeesh....I'm not sure about it.
That being said, this whole SLOW *** reveal is pretty f'n boring. I hate to praise Porsche...but their approach with the 992 has been pretty refreshing...the thing just appeared....tada. Now, the 992 turbo just appeared...boom. This 3 yr spy photo thing is exhausting.

[QUOTE=CRABBYJ;1598928983]IMO the Base C7 without a full width spoiler and having just a small raised one in the middle far exceeds in looks compared to what I’m seeing here on this ME rear facia. A full width mini spoiler with what looks almost identical to the GM C7 Wing Spoiler tacked on top. And what’s with the open spaces in the middle? The effect on the ME IMO makes the rear look even bigger. Not good.

The lines of the C7 don't work for me so I prefer the look of the C8 spoiler. Has a McLaren feel.

This is just the standard/entry model - and damned sure won't be 169k.
