    Are the tips aimed down on the left and up on the right.

      I'm not sure it's the way the pic was taken, or someone was stone and put the passenger side wrong way.

        Looks that way. I’m saying they are not C8. C8 look more symmetrical and no slant cut.

          True, still ugly on C8. Somehow looks good on sedan, but not on a sport car.

            The problem is they are all that looks good on the Cadillac. Think their whole styling theme is off. I wouldn’t have one up my backside if I had room for two. And yes we own a Cadillac, a 14 CTS Coupe.

              When I saw a very close up of the C8’s tips taken by our pro Marcho Polo at the BASH, it became probable to at least the two of us, that they are not the C8’s production tips. Which would be more than fine with many of us.

              Here’s Marcho Polo’s picture that we were looking at. If you look at the tips, no two line up properly, which led us to conclude that these are still part of the Masters of Disguise playing with us.

                Good news... GM keeps messing with us.

                  Many of the parts on even the latest product C8 IVERs are not production approved. So, “who cares even within GM” that the fake tips on the C8’s running around right now are not on straight...

                  I believe the first time we see the real tips will be 75 days away.

                      I was going to say that changing the exhaust tips before production would be easy, and an easy way for GM to continue to obfuscate the real look of the car until the reveal.
