I agree with points on design, some angles this car looks good others it looks terrible. to me most of the new GM designs are odd or just plain terrible i.e. the new Chevy trucks (the GM HD looks substantially better though) to me Chevy has always had issues with cheap looking material choices and I don't know why they are in love so much with cheap looking glossy black plastic, especially on a mid engine Ferrari fighter.
yes it will perform I have no doubt, but if they are looking to attract Ferrari type owners they will always far short of the Italian quality.

Corvette hasn't been in the 40s base since the C6. This generation is an increase of about 4k ($55.9k for a C7 vs 59.9k for a C8). I think that's about standard. I agree I dont love what Chevy has been doing styling wise and with ditching the camaro after this generation there is a HUGE gap in the market that will just continue to be dominated by Ford with the Mustang.
All car prices are high, what's the base price of a camaro now? 37k if you want a V8? 2010 were sticker for 31k with same trim level.
There are options for upgrading that cheap glossy black, cheaper option being have it painted when you get it satin color maybe to take the cheapness out of it. The carbon option upgrade for the vette are going to be pricey!
