Default GM - You just ruined the Z06 - Please fix THIS

Not only do I dislike - I hate this king side wishbone beaming from it's profile. Make it go away!
Second, we did not need another sharp line on the fender. That's over kill.
These two bold changes take away from the looks I was loving. Please reverse these before production rolls out.
Think Edsel !! Maybe I'm over reacting but this is disappointing!

Good thing you started a whole thread for one comment that would fit into a dozen other threads.

I don’t like it either. Body color helps, but I had planned to do cf because I like the boomerang in cf on the stingray.

I swear this forums breaks records on the amount of cry babies ever. If you dont like the damn thing dont buy it. No need to start an entire thread for your rant that means nothing...

It’s a little underwhelming, compared to a base model C8. The color doesn’t help jmho

Body color wishbone should look a lot better.

Not feeling it either. Plus now GM saying no “list” will be taken for orders... what are they trying to do?

I thought it looked bad also, at first. Just like many of us didn’t like the rear of the C8, I reversed that. It sets the Z06 apart which had to be done somehow.

I am not surprised. Have you seen the back and front of the escalade? Sharp lines everywhere. Its like a 4th grader with a ruler drew the sketch.

I love it!

One can easily distinguish the Z06 from a Stingray from afar and the medium aero package should go at a nice complimentary angle with the apex of the inlet.

Reminds me more of the old Eastern Airlines logo than a chicken wishbone… but I have been reading the autobiography of Eddie Rickenbacker so there’s that.

or maybe a Concorde?

To each his own!

Side intake isn't like the C8R, it is the C8 crossed flags emblem turned on its side and stretched just a little. I wonder how much different the Z07 will look? Car looks very grand touring here. Just not sure about it, I think the MC20 may be the best looking midengine currently but it's a V6. Wonder if Ferrari's V12 would fit in it
