2023 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

So we get 3 new colors, some ugly wheels, and a stupid looking z51 spoiler and nothing else????

No changes to the interior, no more HP squeezed out, no "fixes" to the DCT, or the headlights with the "runs".... ???

All Chevy really needed to do was make PDR and Blind Spot Monitoring standard across all trims and add some new interesting colors. A HP bump would have been nice, but I don't think they've ever done that.

They can do all they wish to this car now. I've already got the best they could offer for my cash.

OP, thanks very much for posting these for us!

Sebring Orange is coming back?! that's awesome. Need metallic back in that paint color. SO is my favorite C8 color next to my red mist
I agree that the wheel style and color is just awful...like something I would see on a Hyundai coupe.....
Def not a fan of the "high" wing in the pix (compared to my standard z51 wing on my 2021, which I think looks fantastic, still)

I like the current Z51 spoiler over this wing. They already have multiple wing options available. Wish they would have done something closer to the Z06 spoiler.

I like the new standard Z51 "low wing" more than the current Z51 spoiler. I like the High Wing the most....

The aftermarket wheel and wing businesses are laughing all the way to the bank. How many desks do these changes cross until they are a reality? Hard to believe that Chevrolet and the decision makers blew this one......BIG TIME.

Ok, Maybe I was too quick to critique the new two tone wheels. Brushed silver with carbon flash black do look odd, but the exact same wheel that is totally brushed silver looks pretty good.

In my opinion, neither of those are an improvement over the current offerings.

To each their own preferences.

Exactly! The folks complaining about the wall of buttons will still be complaining anywhere GM would put them.
