As much as I am trying not to think that the C7 is a much inferior car now to the C8 pics like that that shows them next to each other does not help ! I might even buy a C7 for the right price but the C8 next to the C7 makes the C7 look like a modern muscle car and the C8 like an exotic Italian car ! It looks lower, wider, sleeker, hotter and I can keep going....And no the rear does not look like a Camaro, not even close, that's getting very old now.

I love the C7 Z06, beautiful car. But it’s a no contest, and this is just the base version.
Now get some properly designed wheels on this car ASAP GM, a wheel design that will do this car real justice. Both the styles offered are weak attempts... this car deserves much better.
C8 is going to make C7just as old and tired as the C7 did to the C6, and maybe even more so.
I disagree. That is completely a matter of opinion. I still prefer my C6 styling over the C7, although I wish it had some of the C7 technology. I sure as hell don't like the fact that the C7 interior is smaller, which, regardless of styling, is a step back. I was hoping they'd fix this in the C8, but so far I am not seeing that with the "Tall" thread.
That said, I absolutely love the C8 styling. But to me the car looks smaller as a whole compared to C7, not just interior.

The snowflake wheels are...... well, (dare I say) too feminine.

This is very near the "not comparable" zone. The C8 is just awesome and wildly beyond what most of us were expecting. GM has just blown it out of the park and into the world with this offering. Good for GM!

Funny thing is that I agree with you 100%. I do own both a C6 Z and a C7 and while I do think that the new style has dated these overnight, I agree with you on all the points you bring up here, especially about them getting smaller. It’s retarded imo and they are cutting themselves out of sales because of it.
Dated?? Not to me. Everyone has a different opinion. C8 is beautiful and so is the C7. C8 doesn’t date the C7 they look like two different and yet both amazing looking vehicles!! Tho side by side i think the C7 looks better, my opinion. Probably will get the C8 in 2022 but definitely keeping my C7
