I actually do like the rear... Probably the square taillights on my C4 help to accept other than round ones? Anyone seeing the cross-flags' shape with the tailights? I also like that the cockpit resembles the one in my '91.

It is rather mechanized looking more so than a smooth flowing sports car. I do like it, not real crazy on the square tail lights. After watching the entire Autoweek video they say that GM went with those lights to appeal to a new younger buyer, did they not learn anything from Pontiac's failure when they did the same with the new GTO? First, younger buyers can't afford it and second the vette is distinct and should have it's own tradional style, not very similar to a stable mate.

I think it is one UGLY car...way too much "Asian" or Euro" looking...
I HONESTLY hope it looks better in person..

Tail lights look like Jake eyes...

Maybe just my imagination...
Regardless I'm not a fan of the azz end or the abundance of vent grills, functional or not they look like sh$t and will be a PITA to keep clean.

Love it! Best looking base model yet; can't wait to see the "Z" series, and how the C7 performs.

I'm not a big fan of the tail lights right now, but remember the only one thats going to see your tailights is the competition !

I like it. Hot looking car.

I normally dont like the new generations when they come out and then they grow on me.

I think it looks great. The first new design since the C4. (I think the C5 was a variation of the C4 and the C6 was a variation of the C5.)

I like everything except the tail lights, I think they should have stuck with concept as far as tail lights go, but that's my opinion.
I like the fact that they brought the Stingray back.
The design team did a good job, I wonder when they are going to start on the C8 concept?

I think it looks Wicked (in a good way). Yes the rear lights should have been round but overall I like
It looks like it is going 200mph standing still.

It just isn't for me.
Ditto; I think it is hidious, especially when you put a picture of a C4 next to it. The C4 lines really come through.

The C4 looks like a Model A next to the new C7.

This new Corvette will be a success.
99.9% of the "haters" complaining had no intention of ever buying one in the first place, no matter what it looked like.

I like it.

The new C7 looks very nice. I like how the body looks. The rear end is not bad either. Not much you can do with such a big rear. I want one ASAP.

Must be me but I do not see how the C7's interior was inspired by the C4.

How about now? (My steering wheel is already modified in that picture, so it's the same size in diameter as in the C7)

Wonder how long before the C7 owners start dissing the C6 or C5 and previous owners? And when do the C4 owners get the respect the C2/C3 owners get? It's all in the numbers...or something like that!

This is a car I really want to drive! Will then decide if want a C-7 or a C-2 resto-mod I like all Vettes just hasn't been a new one that made me want to leave C-4's behind. 67's always my favorite to look at but not to drive in stock form even though have spent many hours in them!
