Would not touch with a ten foot pole if looks that bulky. Front needs a Lexus grill dentist and side scoops needs to go on a slim diet. Who knows about the back don't look there.. The wheels look like staggered in reverse, Fugly.
Looks like it is driving backward just standing still.
Color so so, not my choice, looks faded.
Not to mention, part of the curved roof looks like 911

It certainly will not look like previous Corvettes but that is exactly the point. In fact, it’s best if many of our (baby boom) generation don’t like the design because it may (hopefully) mean it will appeal to Millennials. Like Harley Davidson the Corvette suffers from being identified with old people. The vast majority of Corvette owners are baby boomers anyone who attempts to claim otherwise is simply ignoring reality.
The Corvette brand can no longer depend on us to keep it afloat it must attract a new generation of buyer in order to survive. That part is clear, if the survival of the Corvette brand depends on the baby boom generation then the Corvette will surely die.
Here’s to the C8 being a success with the young generations for those who can’t afford a Ferrari.

Millennial here, looks badass! I agree it's one of the best renders to date. I also love the scoop, very distinguishing feature in the design. All they need to do is get the front bumper to look right, and offer a manual for me to be sold on it. From my experience on these forums, most of these old guys will never willingly leave their comfort zone but eventually come around.

Nobody is perfect.
The back could look like a bag of arseholes and still look better than the C7.

I agree. The c8 SHOULD appeal to the next generation of car enthusiasts. Gone are the days of simple front engine, RWD slight innovation that will sell mass produced cars. Mid engine, AWD, 500+ hp base, fully featured is what the C8 needs to be to break into the next generation successfully.
They'll be dragged kicking and screaming once they realize their preferences aren't reflected in real world sales.
Nostalgia from the elderly.

I just love the tops of the fenders and the way they land on the doors. I know, I am crazy to think that the ME could reflect some of these details but I just had my Blue Moon.

The canvas covered mules look better. Those waiting for the C6 rear end with spooky circles as tailights are going to be waiting a long time

Classics are beautiful and the C2 is one of the prettiest cars ever made if you ask me, but it is not even close to the direction any large automaker should be going.
Oh, and LOL at John T. for posting this napkin sketch for the umpteenth time. Right on cue, John!

It looks like a Dodge Stealth from 1991. I actually owned the 1994 3000GT brother as my first car but the last thing we want is a backwards step in modernity of design.
