    C8 Corvette

    I'm excited, but I'm a corvette guy. I wouldn't buy the first couple years until they figure out the kinks with all that new tech.

    If this car doesn't get you excited, you are not a car person. I figured the C8 would be disruptive to the mid-engine sports car market but with a starting price of 60K and 500HP, all I can say is wow.

    I think it's only going to get better with the Z06 and ZR1 variants.

    Chevy is finally catching up to what Isuzu was going to do 30 years ago. Typical. No wonder GM drove Isuzu out of the US market. Can't have some forward-thinking Japanese brand showing up the bowtie in the USDM market.

    350hp and AWD. From all the way back in 1989. Thanks for holding back the performance market for decades, GM.

    Agreed with this AND the other postage - I will leave the substance of all of that to you guys.

    I am here to pick at the styling - I've posted this elsewhere, but I find this 'sculpted' trend annoying and over-wrought.

    When are 'enough' body-lines truly enough?

    It looks like too many fingers in the styling-pie, or whomever had the reins went off the fucking rails...to put a finer point on it, I find the horizontal stuff to be conflicted by the rest of it.

    Not that I wouldn't test-drive one, but.

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    I'm just waiting for the straight lines styling fad to end again. That shit should have stayed in the 80s.

    Well it's because the curved lines cues of the 90's got old and tired. And automakers needed a way to differentiate new. Goes in cycles, imho. Lots of swoopy/flowy concept or kit cars from the late 60's early 70's, before the angular 80's. Countach was the angular car that really kicked off the 80's styling craze.
