Yeah, it is a sleek looking car but it looks too much like a Ferrari, Maserati or Lamborghini than a Corvette.

I agree. But what do car manufacturers do but copy design of other vehicles.
Way back when, all manufactures had style of their brand.

I recall reading that the '63 Vette was criticized for being too European. Yet it's the most beautiful Vette ever. Not sure the new one will have that distinction.

I think the Vette has always had a European flair to it but when you saw one coming towards you from down the road you KNEW it was a Vette. The C7 and now the C8 have changed that, when you see them you are not so sure.

Most Ferrari’s don’t have the black ascents on the vents and spoilers.
I’m to tall for this ride anyway’s, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Hmm. All the articles I've read seem to call it a Stingray.
