Default Nice profile lines

Could these be the actual contours we are now seeing pretty clearly? I like the look of top rear fender into cargo area...definition above and below door looking like a C5 but nicer!

I sure hope it doesn’t actually have that stupid pointed beak in the front.

I'm loving what I see in this rolling footage. The rear end profile has always been my main point of concern, in most spy photos and renderings it just looks too long. However in this rolling footage the car has a cohesive look and the rear profile is working just fine for me, I REALLY like it.

Regarding the beak, it is a bit jarring initially. However if it turns out to be real I think it does fit in well with the overall look of the car, which is decidedly exotic!

Default Beak

Likely padded still. Too long to be actual...🙏🏻

Driving it in the rain? Heaven forbid! But seriously, I noticed a red rear caliper. Don’t believe I’ve seen a painted caliper before on a C8...

There have already been pics/videos showing that padding on the front blowing upward. This looks like the same camo that has been on most of the videos we have seen.

I’m liking the lines in this video. Take the beak off (which we know will be the case given some other photos) and if the rear isn’t too bulky it will be an awesome car!!

once all the intakes are exposed on top of the rear quarter pannels, the back wont seem so big and plain.

I think the front is looking good, glad they made it aggressive looking with big intakes from step 1.

Looks a bit weird to me. The rear quarter panels seem awfully high. They appear to be 3/4 of the overall height of the car. Could just be the angle, but still looks off.

Agree and still think the current quarter is fake along with the side scoop. There is no way what we are seeing is what was designed.

This car has no rear spoiler at all.

Yeah, and im glad, that other cheap wing they have on the other car is not great IMO, this car we are seeing here is the active aero wing car i believe, it will come up and retract like a mclaren etc.

The back end of that thing seems to show hints of the Impala LTZ of 15 years or so ago. I hope I’m wrong ...........

Yech.

GM sure loves pointy fronts for some reason. I'm not liking the very hard creased fender lines from this video. We'll see how it all comes together when it is revealed without all the camo. I'm sure it will be pretty hot.

This camo'd C8, and even all the renders look exactly like a C7 with a little body kit. I really hope I'm wrong and it looks different than a C7
