I would love to own a C8. With that being said I had my C6 for three years and just upgraded to a C7, I love my C7, but I still miss my C6 . It was an awesome car. Let's face it, if it is a Corvette it is an awesome car and each generation is worthy of appreciation. If you are a car crazy guy like me, you can be sure there is a Corvette that you will love, And if money were no object, you would own more than one and possibly as many at least one from every generation..

V cool. Like it
Owning a C-7, especially since I'm also a new owner (3 months), my desire and/or appreciation of the new C-8 was obviously going to be negatively preconceived...............
My wife, after watching the C-8 reveal live with me was also quite thrilled when I said, "I don't like it". Ha ha
I would like to agree with you regarding the rear end of both the C-6 and the C-7.......both are great!
Generally speaking the C-8 looks more like a Ferrari than it does like a Corvette......however the C-7 certainly ripped off some styling cues from Ferrari as well.
I don't like the rear end of the new C-8 at all. It doesn't have the traditional Corvette flags on the ass end and that's not right. Those flags are synonymous with Corvette!
I've added a couple of photos to show similarity between the C-7 and Ferrari as well as a great shot of my cars rear end!!!
Well, after viewing the bronze photos I'll say this, the front end and side view is awesome....more Ferrari looking than Corvette, but this will become Corvettes new look! I don't like the rear end at all......the tail lights I can learn to live with, but having no crossed flags and I really don't like the exhaust, both are deal breakers! Those four 4" pipes on the C-6 and C-7 located in the centre screamed muscle! The twin pipes at opposite ends of the C-8 don't look right!

I hear ya Cobra. Personally I see more of a resemblence between the C8 and the McLaren. I'm gonna have a tough time telling them apart on the road.... other than there's not a lot of McLarens cruising central Alberta...lol...
Here's what I mean...
Hmm......can a car manufacturer sue another when they copy design........those two cars look extremely similar!
All vehicles look extremely similar these days.. Gone are the days when you could Identify make model and year from 200 yards....
The more I look, the more I like the C-8!
When you look at the colours available from this Car and Driver article,really it’s only the Bronze and the Rapid Blue which are new. The yellow might’ve been tweaked a bit but overall,it’s the same (most) colours carried over from the C7 Gen.
The bronze might be one of those colours that takes some getting used too maybe. Perhaps in a natural light setting. I wouldnt find it exciting enough to drive it off the lot. JMO. Looks more like a suit/tie/shoes guy colour as apposed to T-shirt/jeans/Piloti type guy.

Ya Mike that Zeus Bronze is a really different colour for a Corvette but it’s likely as you say. I’ve been around a bit and I remember in Monaco especially, I would see these types of exotic colours on supercars often. The red or black Ferrari’s still turned my head the quickest though.
I really am drawn to the new Rapid Blue I have to admit.

I was half expecting a two tone colour but guess will have to drive it out to Ottawa and back to get that rugged two tone finish on the front end courtesy of the insect life.

I am reading initial orders will be asking for yellow exterior with red interiors. I think that leaked document had that combination. Also thinking the yellow might be metallic ??? Not sure though other than it’s not gonna be my choice.
