OMG I hope this is the furthest thing away from the final product. No disrespect to you or anyone here, but I think ALL 2020 GM 1500 and up to the 4500 are absolutely horrendous (especially the 2500), and I hope the 2021 get a early mid cycle front end refresh. From the side and the rear, they look good...but I can't get past the front end.

GM truck front ends are becoming way to "busy".....( too much crap going on)..... A slight front end "bump" will cost over $2,000....
I noticed the new Honda Accord..... The front hood, grill, headlights are further ahead than the bumper!!

What the hell happened to a functional bumper at 5 mph??

Hyundai's & Kias are always cheap 'rental car' quality.... They just attach "bling" & Bluetooth to make them seem nice.

I don't understand " Chevy Tough" trucks going to the bling crap on the front.

Only 60K for the base model!

Isn't that crazy?! That really isn't too expensive for almost a 500 hp vette

That Ferrari 488 I drove was paid in cash..... $362,000.00. !! ( base model $260,000 )

Sure a nice car....... But the Prancing Horse badge sells the mystique ( $$$$$$$$ ).

It finally, may be the same thought and happen to a ME 'Vette ??

I can not wait for the WeatherTech IMSA Corvette race team's car !!!!!!!

The side air scoop on the Ferrari has a 'splitter' separating the air between the radiator / engine intake.

The side air scoop on the C8 has a reminder of the Corvette from the '50's side panel 2-tone paint at the rear of it.

....Sort of...... I wonder if they had that in mind? Designing the scoop?

( Let's see if someone does an accent color on the side?)

(Up date... I contacted an artist friend to maybe do a rendering.. ( Kenny Youngblood)
I'll let you guys know if he does a rendering....

Shit idk. The corvette looks ok but it looks just like everything else out there now. The lotus and the mclaren. I think the 2019 corvettes look better. More American then super car. That 2020 getting more foreign looking to me. I want American lol
I thought it was a Lambo or Ferrari at first.

The technology gets spread around..... Ferrari spent the bucks to perfect it.... Others used the designs.

An American super car is the Saleen, and before that was a Vector.
The Vector was very cool!!

( The 1990's Red Vector was ahead of everyone.... Built in Southern California. Always had more horsepower than any car on the planet )

I agree with the C8 looking exotic. Hell, it's mid-engine now. But, I'll take the $60K American "bargain Ferrari" any day. If you were so inclined, you could dump in some of the money saved and it'd stomp the exotics.

$60 grand is the base model... They will have a faster model for the Ferrari Eater.

Gotta see it in the other colors, that Torch Red sure looks nice! What we're seeing is just a base car with what will turn out to be a wimpy engine compared to later offerings. Exciting to see the new technology and design, wonder if an AWD version will ever be available?
