Is the C8 really a Corvette?
I love the looks of the new C8 a really gorgeous car . GM really aimed hard against the Italian super cars obviously with the mid engine.
In the unveiling they show us the evolution for all eight generation of the car but is it really an evolution is the new car really belong to the Corvette family?
What do you guys think?
C8 Stingray vs C7 Grand Sport Convertible

No, because it does not have an inline-6 like the original corvette.
This is a dumb thread.

Of course it is, it's just not an FE Corvette.

Yes, in 55 came a v8, 63 gave us independent rear suspension and a hardtop option, 68 changed the shape radically, etc etc so now we have a new innovation the ME.
Yes it it is the new direction for corvette.

I would argue that other than some design ques like the double tail lights if you had removed the logos from the back or and front , you could never tell that this is a corvette. There is very little common between this car an any other generation corvettes

Enzo only wanted front engine V12's but gave in for performance and went to ME. I guess all those ME Ferrari's aren't Ferrari's either. Thread fail.

I think I could tell from the front that it is a Corvette. The back certainly is Chevrolet (perhaps they went a bit overboard on that).

a. Dodge
b. Fiat
c. Nissan
d. Tatra
Since we're being ridiculous.

Look at the 6th gen Camaro. GM tried way to hard to appeal to Gen5 owners and never addressed the **** poor visibility and poor exterior design choices that dated the car the day it hit the lot. And now look at sales. The 5th gen buyers didn’t buy them because, well the 6th gen looked too much like the 5th gen. And the people who didn’t buy a 5th gen due to poor visibility and design passed. It’s a shame because the 6th gen Camaro is an awesome car to drive but if the rumors are true the Camaro will be shelved soon.

Can you explain a bit why you think that way?
I'm sorry, do you really think that there is nothing good in the C7?
