Quad exhuast pipes are nothing new.

Yes, but I prefer them conservative in two groups of two.

I have no complaints about the exhaust pipes.

The rear end of the car looks crappy today. They need to stop redesigning it overnight.

Really liking the back of the car now.

Did they change it again? Damn it.

Teuton said the rear end looks a lot better in person than it does in pictures.  I will have to wait and see it in person I guess.

If this had a Lexus badge on it, we would be reading all kind of not so funny rice comments about the scoops and vents

It is a bit MrHish, but since all the vents are functional, I'm giving it a pass.

If that's what you're trying to do, it's going to be quite a reach over the optional wall.
I've done it in a Miata with the hard top on and I'm over 6'4". So Im sure I could do it in this thing even if I'm much older and not as flexible. Perhaps she'll be much younger and even more flexible.

Front and side profile are very nice.

The rear is a total disaster IMO. From the quad exhausts (so close to each other) to the light design.

You will find it more appealing tomorrow.

Maybe it'll look better in person.

It will be some time before I see one on the streets here...

GM has been building great cars lately. I like the exterior of this new Vette.

Just a couple of weeks ago I went to a "premium" GM dealer nearby to check out the Camaro ZL-1 and the ZR-1. They didn't have the Camaro on the floor (will go again later) but they had a couple of base Vettes and a couple of ZR-1s. The ZR-1 looks amazing and I can see no fault with it other than the much criticized seats.

Considering that this new C8 will most likely be quite a bit cheaper than the next M3 (at least here) it will make a tempting proposition in time.

Car looks better in darker colors IMO.  The vents contrast too much on the lighter colors.




Raza

Definitely.  Much better there than in the earlier photos.

That looks much better.

Still not as clean as C6, though.

Agreed. I don't think I will ever get over the taillights, and I think the quads are too close to each other. I also still find it strange that the headlights look so similar to the Viper's. I guess the supplier got the last laugh on that one.

Overall, it is an improvement for me, based mainly on the interior.

This is from the Facebook page of star photographer Webb Bland. These are colors he creared for the car.

I'll take the orange 'Vette!

They redesigned it again last night.

I was pretty sure the rear would look better if it was body colour.  Unfortunately the only time it is body colour is if the rest of the car is grey.  I love the grey though, but sucks for the people who want red, white, green, or orange.
