It does look exotic and menacing.
I've seen several, and color makes a difference.

Red is definitely exotic and menacing, particularly with the black/carbon trim pieces.

It definitely pulls off white well.

The one black I saw was all black, so it just looked like a black blob moving down the stree.

Haven't seen other colors but I suspect I would like the orange.

In all, I leave towards favoring the C7 as well, but the c8 would make me feel like I'm driving something I really can't afford, while the C7 seems to already be aging a bit.
