Intakes that large on the sides only make sense if the radiators are side mounted, like the 1980s Ferrari testarossa. If that is the case, then they don’t need the intake grills at the front of the car.

GM is famous for doing stupid things like that. Compare the front end of the Corvette and the Ferrari. You’ll notice the Corvette has a greater ramp angle at the bottom, to aid in practicality. We wouldn’t want to scrape the front getting into a driveway, or going over a speedbump. But wait! They also include a feature where you can push a button and raise the front end for more clearance. So that design feature really isn’t needed, GM just threw it in because they like to **** up the design. It has no functional purpose.
I believe the car has six radiators, so I'm sure it's more form following function than vice versa. Also, I'm sure they "just threw it in to **** up the design."

You don't like it, that's fine but show me another car even close to the price range that looks decent and offers a similar level of performance.
