C8 rendering with C2 Split rear window.

C8 here with C2 split window which lasted only one year. But now with back-up camera, Maybe?

Truth be told, I'm actually shocked the C8 didn't get a split rear window.

There were a ton of rumors on it, rear view camera........woulda made sense.

I really like this! And apparently so do some others. That split window actually looks quite modern, yet ties the design to the past - something I really had hoped they would've done.

I'm going to be the minority here and say I think it's dreadful. Looks like a humpback to me. Would have probably passed on the car I dislike it so much.

Love it. Do I like it to the point of negating the current production HTC beauty...? Maybe not.

Yup But as we both know the GM designers are the best in the business or so we have been told on this forum.

Eh, I don't hate it, but I don't think it looks better than the current design. Kind of reminds me of the back of a chrysler crossfire (which is not a good thing!).

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