It is Social Psychology 101.
I LOL reading all those arguing for and against contrary opinions. It’s been that way at least as long as I’ve been on CF. Through the lead up to the C6, C7, and now the C8. Most by those only having seen pictures. It has always tailed off as more people see them in person. As an early purchaser of both the C6 and C7 i’ve had 100’s of car enthusiasts give design praise seeing each one of mine. I’ve never had one negative comment. I expect no different when I receive my early build C8.
This pic is a great example of what's wrong with the C8 design. Every other supercar (like the 600LT right behind it) went with the rounded rear, which looks boring as hell. The boxy-square look just doesn't work on this car.
Lines, creases, and angles, mouth and rear are not opinion

No. My opinion is that it's "a mess."
However, it's a FACT that the C8 is festooned with all manner of lines, angles, forms, etc. It has a huge mouth and a huge rear. It is, in fact, a VERY busy design compared to its peers.
Those claims are observable and countable. They are true; not opinion.
It has to work for you, just as Foosh stated. It must work for you. Because in your mind, you made yourself like it. Because you ordered one. You honestly aren't getting that, are you?
You can't accept that he ordered one because he liked it, rather than he likes it because he ordered one? That's a pretty bold statement about someone you don't really know at all, isn't it?

Yes, that would have been nice. Unfortunately, GM's design penchant for the flamboyant took them too far. It doesn't work for me, especially when you have the gorgeous Ferrari 458 and 488, and the Gallardo. I get the functionality, but at some point you have to pay attention to basic proportions and not try to patch it with tacky add-ons. I definitely think the move to ME was necessary for performance reasons, but the Ferrari 458/488 just hits the performance out of the park and looks much better doing it. C8 won't be my next car.
It would also have been impractical. If you look at the internals of the C8, there's no room to lower the fenders and grill without making it longer. The headlights barely clear the wheel wells now. And making the radiators smaller would possibly lead to cooling issues.
I love Photoshop engineers, who never actually have to build a car that runs, works, or can actually be built.
If only it could have looked more like this. Subtle changes but they make all the difference in the world.
The guy who did this is incredibly talented. You can check out his automotive designs (pretty stunning, btw!!!) on Facebook @ Rain Prisk Design then go to Photos.
Would look way better if the front end was longer.
Go buy a C7 or a Viper. The whole point of a ME is the revised proportions. There are no “long- nose” ME cars. That would be retarded.
Really now. Someone knocks the look of the car and just because you are buying it you crack a tantrum. Over sensitive new C8 owner here in this thread.
I guess the Laferrari and Ford GT do not exist for example.
How does that compare to the front end of the C8? Same length if so one if us has a problem.

Both of those cars have shorter noses and longer tails.
