What a C8 would have looked like if the engine was still in the front.

What a front engine c8 would actually look like (not a photoshop)...

IMO they didn't change the c7's design language at all with the c8, they reused it so the big MR shift would feel like less of a drastic change from the last car. The front and rear treatments are so similar.

This Looks Like The First Public C8 Corvette Crash [Updated]
pmlrksmadfpjpfeasrmh.png

Less than a month after the new 2020 C8 Corvette dropped, the inevitable first public crash involving one looks to have happened somewhere in California.
According to the Wrecked Musclecars account, the Corvette clipped an oncoming SUV at a corner. There’s some real damage to the front quarter of the car involved, but it looks like things are mostly intact.

Let’s hope the composite bodywork this car’s going to need doesn’t cost as much as the dealer sales and service package.

Updated: Saturday, August 10th 2019, 1:45 PM ET: Reader Erik drove by the crash site on CA Route 120 between Moccasin and Groveland. He sent us the video below which gives a better view of the other members of the GM development convoy involved as well as the damage to the car itself.

Supra won me over...

Since you've mentioned the things that you didn't like about the C8 (you're a Corvette guy), can you please explain how the Supra won you over then?
