No way would I handicap the members.......what if it does actually draw legitimate observations that are justified?

Remember Austin Powers and the "mole"?

Well, I just can't. It may become necessary at some point to utter those words. Like if I say...
-Shyt! Those tail lights ARE round!
-Dam! Those tail lights ARE NOT round!
-Duuuuuude! Those tail lights ARE the awesomest Corvette tail lights that ever wanted to be called Corvette tail lights!

..you get the point.

As a consumer I can like or dislike anything I want. I find it a bit self righteous for GM to assume I will have to get use to it (taillights). How about they get use to we buy what we like & what is the best product. If I do not like the C7, I won't buy it PERIOD.

So that means you are not taking the pledge?

I doubt you will ever hear GM say that...they know you will either buy it or not. They learned that with the C6 headlights.
That said, many people did get used to those headlights...

I pledge not to call them Camaro taillights unless....................they actually look like Camaro taillights.

BTW is it tail lights or taillights?

because to one will believe that any major manufacturer design team would slap such a hideous rear end on a car like the Corvette.

Just sayin... get ready because it's a comin. Maybe you can just post an informational FAQ placard on the car. Better yet, cover the rear end with it. Maybe GM will offer a permanent camo panel option to hide their clusterf*ck.
