The C7 has grown on me some, the overall proportions aren’t bad. Didn’t like it when it first came out…

The C8 is a hodgepodge of different ideas, the part I hate the worst is the rear end. There were several versions of that on offer and I think the chick that ran the company at the time was the one that made the decision. Personally, I think she’s an idiot.

A friend of mine‘s son was working there at the time that design came out, and the impression I get is that there were a lot of unhappy people within the company when the final design was chosen.

Hmmm....



I doubt if I'll ever see one IRL, and it really doesn't matter what I think, really, but this view doesn't flatter...



To me, the car looks like it is trying too hard to look retro or something. It looks Daytona-ish on the front and P330-4 at the rear.

I think the C8 looks like a generic supercar. From a distance it’s hard to know exactly what it is.

I couldn’t agree more, which seems to be the case with most styling efforts these days. They’re like the generic sports car shown on a gas pump or a can of turtle wax.

Yup, except Invisible Glass is still rocking a picture of my RX8!
