          I like it a lot. Until the Grand Sport X I wasn’t really a fan of the C8. But I might consider getting one at half the price they are now.

          I drove a few C8s. At the limit they’re superior to the C7 but as a daily driver they’re like a nice sedan. Not having a manual really demolished how special they felt to me. So I bought the C7.

            I think the C8 just looks wrong; partly because it’s mid-engined. I never had the opportunity to drive either of them though.

            Corvettes always felt to me like simple and affordable sports cars for the masses; the C7 felt more like an evolution in that sense. The C8 is too fancy and sophisticated if that makes sense.

              Lots of people agree with you. Particularly in the corvette forums.

              Personally from form alone I think a C6 Z06 with updated head and tail lights is peak corvette. Every time I see one I swoon.
