Does this part look odd, window or sliding roof area?

No... you’re seeing things. Looks like the quarter panel and the quarter glass and rear hatch.

The front end, lights and side scoops/vents will make or break this Car. The rear is way, way better than the C7 rear end. At least, GM learned that much. I like it, so far.

I noticed that. Looks like side windows and high sitting quarter panels. The camera angle makes it hard to decipher.

I was going to say it looks very Camaro like, which is not good for me. I’d rather stick with my Stingray or get a ZL1.

The spoiler and exhaust tips don’t look good but reserving final opinion until I see the car in person.

If this is it, it’s time to hold out hope that the refresh looks better lol.

I believe if the rear fascia is more convex this could look very good.

Yes. Hard to see what’s going on there. Looks strange to my eyes

I am sure it will look better in person,......... it better !

Stepping further back from my computer screen, and looking at it a bit further away standing away from my laptop, it already looks better.

But for me, the looks of any car do not override the tech and performance for me in deciding what to buy. i.e.: Nissan GT-R is ugly, but a car I want.

I will be driving a C8 regardless, but I would prefer the car be visually eye catching.

Whatever !
