Flip up doors
These vettes look like they should have flip up doors, wonder how long it will be before someone makes a kit for them? I think they would be cool on these corvettes. I wouldn’t be surprised if GM makes them an option in future years.

This image gets posted a lot here, but scissor doors are cool. Really depends on the body style of the car. Sure it doesn't look all that good on a Civic, but if the car has the right body lines it looks great. For the C8? I'm not too sure, but if it gets a wider body it might start looking a bit more like an Aventador.
Then you are alone, because I’d be SHOCKED AS HELL if they ever came from the factory like that.

^^^ This....you complainers have NOTHING to worry about.
Non-traditional opening doors give a car an "exotic" feel. I would have loved to see the C8 get some kind of exotic door. However, look at Bugatti-that is a hyper car with traditional doors!

All that matters is making ingress and egress easier at a reasonable cost. The C8 doors traverse a lot of space when opened. Scissor doors might well have been a good design feature.
At this point the horse has left the barn; I certainly would not spend a penny to retrofit them...
