The back window treatment behind the B pillar looks a bit like the newest Aston. I am not crazy about the wheels, hopefully those are just for show and not standard, overall the looks are a bit juvenile compared to the great sports cars of Europe, the 458 Italia for example is much prettier, and the SRT Viper much is a much more defined and cleaner shape, this is just gaudy from some angles.

450 Hp from 6.2 Liters is not that impressive either considering the 458 Italia puts out 562 HP from only 4.5 Liters. The interior materials look better than before, but the cockpit design lacks eloquence, more boy racer than proper sports car.

My continued problem with the Vette though is GM's refusal to move this car away from its "muscle" roots. Leave the Camaro for the blue collar aspirants, and make the Vette a proper exotic supercar, meaning the engine needs to be behind the driver, not in front. Maybe in the C8?
