Back end definitely looks better and really a non spit window with that rear end design would be fine.

Severely limits the view of the plastic engine cover

Don’t forget chrome bumpers and manual transmission and water leaks everywhere.

EDIT: Please stop. I had a 63 Coupe. The C8 isn’t one and never should be. Let the “Icon” stand on its own. Time marches on.

Also, the ground effects on the side are ridiculously high and the door wouldnt even be able to open if they were like that

The doors open but the windows stay in place. You just have to duck to get in. Easy...

Don’t like it at all. If the C8 looked like that, I don’t think I would have bought one.

it looks pretty good, but "rendering" is pretty much the most uneventful word in the auto industry.

I think the one-year, 1963 split rear window is pretty cool, but never understood the desire to have a solid line in the middle of the rear window to further hinder rear visibility. Camera or no camera.

I'm all for it as long as the aero works as good or better than the current design.

That would be one hot *** end, figuratively and literally.

It needs more venting for the engine.
