Spoiler alert: It was better in my head than it was in person. I’m not sure why exactly you would buy one of these.

(Actual photo, actual car, actual San Francisco - if there ever was such a thing)

Why the let down?

So many other comparable cars you can buy in that price range ... and can get repaired easily.

This is the car to buy when you have enough money not to buy the logical choice. That, and this car is like a piece of art. So just make your garage a living room and park it.

I remember seeing it on Top Gear and thinking its interior said “Pagani.”

Man, it just wasn’t that nice. An F430, 458, Aston, or even F-Type is just so much nicer to look at. The C8 looks very un-finished in person. Not quite modern enough in the front, awkward in the middle, and old school in the rear. It’s not very cohesive.

The details (front grill, side sills, etc) just didn’t come off in person like they should for a car that expensive. The first thought I had when I looked at it was that it came off looking a lot like a kit car. All that chrome on the sides is awful.

That’s because it’s the wrong Spyker. Aileron for the win

Was going to post this, glad someone already has.

I love it for the turned aluminum interior.

I’ve only seen one in person, myself. The exterior left a little bit to desired, but the interior is something to behold.

Having seen one a few times (the same one more than once I mean) I like them aesthetically, but not with the weirdly shaped, oddly attached fabric top on. Come to think of it, I’m not as familiar so I don’t know if the top I saw on it is even for use when driving.

I love this car, I’d love to see one and see if I agree with you. One day perhaps.
