Bad angle, Bad lighting, but I like it and I love that color and I’m not a blue fan.

Overall the design looks much trimmer and less busy than the C7, but will need to see it in person.

The actual lamps are far more complex than initial glance.

I know it’s one picture at one angle, but that picture of the rear looks horrible. From the spoiler to the exhaust tips, it looks outdated already. I’ll wait to the reveal to pass judgement, but this picture...yuck! Great find OP, just not liking what I’m seeing.

Looks legit - not sure I love it. The back end seems higher than the renders, but maybe it's just the angle.

Noticed that too... not even a food place for one or the “Corvette” script.

I’m a huge C8 proponent and my reaction mirrored yours... hoping it all works better in person.

C7 was the same... meh in pics, great in person.

Default Hope it doesn’t look like this

The square spread to edge tips look cheap and cheesy.

The rest of it looks like a big piece of Camaro level plastic.

Hope it’s not real. Looks very.... Chevy. Was hoping for better design.

I am also, I put off buying another car 8 months ago just to wait for the C8. Really will need to see it up close first before I commit to buying one..

Looks legit. Also looks terrible.

How they thought that would look good just beats me. It’s a bunch of designs mashed together. No cohesiveness at all. Ugh.

Yeah, same here. I'm all about a mid engine Corvette. But in the past, I've always been pretty "meh" about all new vettes until I see them in person. Renders and photos just don't really capture the presence of the car (to me at least).

We'll see what happens soon enough. I don't think we are in for many surprises, but it will be nice to finally see the damn car.

It's probably a pre-production/press model

This is a sad end. Hard to believe they bet the ranch on this design. Wow, just wow.
