I find myself underwhelmed at the new mid-engine Corvette design as officially revealed by General Motors this evening locally.
Compared to the styling of the new Hellcat widebody Chargers and even the Challengers, these new Corvette's are a disappointment. To me, they are just a mess of cliche's and way too busy. And like the Silverado, the front end of this car is too tall to look racy. This attached Automobile magazine's summary seems to echo similar thoughts:
2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Design Analysis: "I’m Sorry, but I’m Disappointed"
I believe Chrysler has better talent at least in the design studios. I am confident this new car will perform well especially at winding race tracks, but in real life traffic, it looks like a lot of other such cars that are not especially noteworthy, at least out here where they are a dime a dozen.................
I actually like the 2020 Camaro much better:
Just like Cadillac doesn't compete well in the luxury car class compared to its German rivals, this new Corvette doesn't seem likely to steal any Ferrari buyers either.
While the new 2020 Ferrari is in some ways similar, they seem to pull it off much better with more flowing lines and a more coherent design:
