I totally agree with you. It looks like someone said make it look like a Ferrari but not too much like a Ferrari and whoever was in charge of executing that directive just added a ton of stupid lines and bling including unfortunately making that air scoop trim on the side black so as to differentiate it a little.

It’s like a musician steeling a melody from someone else but adding an extra chord change or two to try to make it their own.

In this case, I would actually respect the corvette more if they just went ahead and totally ripped off Ferrari (I would love a new $60k Ferrari 😜 )

As for the interior, I’m starting to think I could grow to like it

I known $60k is a good price for a car like this but $60k is still a lot of money and for that, I want to love how it looks every time from every angle.

No car is perfect today. Even the 992 has some design issues to my eyes, though better than any 911 in the past 29 years in my opinion.

After that, take a look at the blue car and the Ferrari. They have the same basic shape and proportion’s, even some of the features like the lower side window line is eerily similar. There are differences in the details, that’s what I’ve been complaining about. GM adds a great deal of unnecessary complexity and none of it makes the basic design better. Some of it is a nod to usability, like the increased ramp angle in the front, but most of it’s just unnecessary, fake complexity for it’s own sake.

For example, why does the Corvette have the two huge side air intakes?
