They benchmarked a Ferrari 458 Italia and this is what we get in return haha
It's a clone and the public is non the wiser
Pathetic GM, pathetic.

@kimjz diesn't mean they are great looking cars, just the flavor of the day.
Hideous.. worst looking Gen by far
You are all haters, maybe because you can’t get one lmao , yeah it’s so ugly that people are on list by the thousands waiting for one and some are paying 10-30k over sticker price to get them, so keep hating bunch of haters that don’t know s… about cars 😂🤣😂🤣
If the C8 has room for 19 speakers and room for high watt amps to upgrade nice sound I say the C8 is best car ever
Usually new models grow on me after a time. I hated c7 at first. Now I like it. But c8 gets uglier as time goes on. Major fail in styling.
Yikes imagine being that guy LOL
It’s time for GM to throw in the towel. After decades of building embarrassingly inferior automobiles car buyers have largely written off GM. This began happening a long, long time ago. When the Japanese perfected auto manufacturing in the 80’s GM went dark. GM is like a very dim candle ready to blow out. I personally couldn’t give a rat’s backside if the corporation faded into oblivion. Enough is enough. GM once stood proud eons ago. But with poor leadership, cr---y cut rate cars, and a paper trail of recalls and deaths from faulty ignition systems, GM will never ever be a respected auto division, while the foreign competition continues to sl------r them. The “new GM” moniker is just a cheap front to try and hoodwink prospective car buyers to purchase their junk. Say goodnight GM we’ve had enough of your deceit.
It looks amazing I bought 2 stay mad poors
Just Plain Hideous, I can't wrap my head around how GM went through with the design, this car is just PLAIN UGLY, from every angle, so much that no amount of performance and how much of a $ bargain it is won't sway me to even think about it. It's a shame that we are utterly unable to compete in this segment...
The back end looks like a Camaro on a hot plate

Anyone who thinks it's good looking definitely has no taste
The C8 Corvette is what you get if you ordered your Ferrari from Wish.com. Cheap and ugly!
The big open radiators in the front get beat up in a matter of hundreds of miles. Since they are very prominent on the front end, the car that supposed to look so good looks beat up soon after purchase.
Who was responsible for saying that the little aluminum fins should be highly visible and in an area prone to damage. With all the testers, calibrators, engineers, and technicians involved with this car, how could nobody have said, "that would really annoy me that happened to my brand new sports car." This was a known issue that would have direct negative effect on the customer that was let out the door because that is how General Motors works.
Every General Motors vehicle bears the scars from a incurable and debilitating infection of politics and corruption.
C8 tis trash.. I’m sorry it is just horrendously hideous. Honestly the only thing worse than the vehicle itself is the person driving it thinking they are in a Ferrari. I live in Santa Monica and work in Beverly Hills/Bel Air so have a fairly constant dose of true supercars and every time I see this thing I want to vomit in my mouth. Such a disjointed disappointment.. It’s awful. Period.
new corvette is awful looking just terrible,GM HAS LOST ITS WAY, by the way I own 2 vintage corvettes
Beautiful car inside and out. GM hit a home run with the C8Corvette!
The C8 is deliberatly ugly. It has to be done on purpose. I mean every corvette always has something amiss. The C6 was almost perfect except for the rear glass, leaf springs and boring interior. The C7 has good performance, nice interior but underwhelming wheels, large wheel arches and too much body with leaf springs; not to mention the odd wheel offset for the base model. Why is there even a narrow body base model. They all should start with 500HP and a clean wide body ( no splitter, side skirts, etc..). Clean but still a wide body. The C8 was the chance to get it all right and they could have. Except this time we get the performance but everything else s—s. At least it doesn't have leaf springs. Does it really cost more to draw a s-xy body.
Cheap look
What a joke looks cheap
C8 is truly a cheap ugly wannabe Ferrari. Ugly air scoop that is on the door. Ridiculous jetson style interior, especially the center console. Ridiculous creases through out the body of the car. Bottom line - low class garbage for the gullible uninformed.
C8 is ugly. Who puts an air scoop on the door. Also the interior is something you'd see on the jetsons, ridiculous. They should have stuck with the C7. Or if they wanted a mid engine model, they should have designed one that had some class and not a hodgepodge of design cues that are an abobination.
I have a c6 Z06, to me the C6 is the most gorgeous corvette ever made. Not crazy about the c7, but compared to the C8, the C7 is gorgeous. This is not a corvette and gm totally sold out. If I want an exotic o would buy an exotic. Oh well, no new corvette for me. I will stick with my 2010 Z06 and my 2019 Camaro ss 1le. I would buy a v8 challenger or v8 mustang before I spend money on this ugly vehicle they call a corvette. Shame on them.
Ugly is all I can say. I own a fully loaded 2016 C7 convertible with a ZO7 package and the car and it’s lines are just beautiful. I was going to trade it in for the new Vette. Looking at this thing forget it deals off. I’ll be modifying my C7 and my next Vette will be a classic instead. GM should be embarrassed.

Dude I couldn't agree more. Don't forget Duntov and Larry Shinoda!
THAT IS NO CORVETTE!
CORVETTE USED TO MEAN SOMETHING, NOT ANYMORE! PLEASE MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A STINGRAY, AT LEAST MAKE THE EFFORT TO BE CREATIVE! THE FORD GT IN MY OPION IS WHAT THE CORVETTE SHOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE! HIRE THOSE DESIGNER'S ASAP. RUESS AND BARRA NEED TO GO NOW!
I still don't understand why so many internet articles are swooning over the LT2! Is it just because of the price?
That thing looks awful! Disproportionate and ugly headlights, weird rear deck, overly done lines on the hood, ricer-looking wing, and bowel-churning rear shape... WHY!? Do people really have that low standards these days? The engineering hadn't even sorted out all the bugs yet
Reuss is in the car because the monstrosity is HIS baby. He's the exec that finally delivered what the customers weren't asking for.
Worst interior EVER
The exterior looks like a 6 year old took a Ferrari and added jagged edges ALL OVER IT to try to make it not look like a Ferrari. Then, when he was done, his 8 year old brother added even more jagged edges to it.
Not that it's surprising. GM styling is at an all-time low. Harley Earl and Bill Mitchell are rolling over in their graves.

Buy that C7 USED!
NOT NEW,
The publicity department is in overdrive trying to convince us the Corvette C8 is revolutionary in mid-engine design and overall fiberglass treatment. I agree it is a hideous exercise developed by the styling committee as a single stylist effort wouldn't have gotten away with this.
Fortunately there are still over 6200 C7s on the lot. I'll take the blue one please.

Just hold your wad there fella,
Everyone already knows the fine entertaining info you shared, what is you're point? GM is a global company, they do business GLOBALLY!
Chinese sales are on a fast decline, so what no one really cares.
Oh... to here.. if any trolls wanted to say... "Oh that is not true... blah blah blah.

Web of lies, the truth is the public isn't onboard, with Mary's future.
People are onboard with choice and that choice is gas and Diesel engines along with the choice to buy EVs if they want, People want to pull camping trailers and want gigantic trucks, I want these companies to offer a little bit of everything to the customer and not limit itself, People will never stop driving a gas powered anything especially hot rodders with classic cars and the future classics like a Dodge Challenger or that totally tits mega powered Camaro! Stop Mary just stop and wake up!
So much for zero zero zero
Whom ever designed that interior should be horse wiped
Poor Corvette, Duntov is rolling in his grave.
Folks, don't buy GM.
After greedy Barra and her useless overpaid CFO fired everyone, including people that worked on this Corvette failure.
Let's go all electric though, what absolute joker's, they aren't even good at lieing hahaha.
Curious, can Ferrari Sue GM for such a blatant rip off ?
Wasn't there a problem with the wiring harness?
Did they ever fix the overheating issues in the FR layout? Or is it going to be warranty's problem?
