I've seen some C8s around. It's a very awkward looking car and has this Walmart version of a supercar design.
Seems like a sweet car overall but they missed badly on integrating Corvette design cues onto a mid-engined body.

Wholeheartedly agree on this assessment. The front end looks fine but once you start moving back on the car, the proportions are unattractive and the rear end is quite unpleasing, IMO.

It is not a pretty car, looks completely mashed up.

I thought the same thing the first time I saw a C7 in person.

No Doubt, I couldn't agree more!! I just don't know many people who buy a Vette for the beautiful comfy interior My GTR interior is junk! I didn't give the interior 1 thought when buying it. I bought it for how raw it is and how bad ass they are.

Here's a C7.
What's the issue?

In a few years, those panels will be peeling and sagging. Some people don’t care about that, but there is a reason they’re so cheap for the performance you’re getting. People who buy M cars are expecting a level of interior quality that the Chevy can’t reach. My point is, the corvette might be faster with the right driver, but it comes at a cost that most of us aren’t okay with. I try to love them since it’s American and a great bargain but every time I sit and drive them, it leaves a lot to be desired vs a Porsche or BMW in that price range. |

Faux carbon, faux aluminum, GM stalks, that mirror button from a Cavalier, the unsupportive seats, the smell of glue, etc. the C8 looks much, much better, but it's still not really competitive.

No more faux than the aluminum an CF in a BMW. Unsupportive seats? Lose a few pounds and don't blame the seats. But yeah, somehow BMW gets a pass for using the same steering wheels on multiple cars, etc. It seems people are just trying to find faux things to complain about...rather than real things.

And I didn't mention the steering wheel, it actually looks like the one nice element in there. Well, and it is a manual. |

My good friends new Vette. He did some custom paint work on the removable roof. All around a sweet ride indeed!
Looks sooooo much better without that ridiculous and cheesy rear wing. |
