Who says I am trolling.......I am in the market and was waiting to see what it looked like.

Off to Detroit next week on business and am going to check out the show. I lost interest in going back to the C2 / C3 models after experiencing the personalities in the NCRS on their website.....the budget is $50-60K......so it looks like I'll be going C6 with a Lingenfelter engine.

They are going to sell a lot of C7s. Looks great and it appears to be a technological leap.

It's got a reworked 1991 C4 interior. Hell, just look at all those designers. Every one of them are older and out of touch. No wonder we got a throw back design.

Glad I got my '13 when I did! Now I know where to spend my cash......hi-po engine mods.

Car is losing its vetteness. GTR roofline, ferrari rear glass, no round lights. Nice car and will sell well if the price stays down, which I doubt. Seats are sweet, but didnt like the steering wheel or gauges.

I'm awaiting my vindication...

It doesn't look like a Corvette (other than vaguely being coke bottle shaped) and is filled with fad design clichés.

If I was in the market for a new car I'd get a new Cayman S. At least it still looks like what it's suppose to.

I don't get the whole "Boy Racer" sports car fad, is it because a bunch of 15-25 year olds like the GT-R? Throwing heritage out the window for sales is a dumb idea.

Merging heritage with new design is what this should be about. On that note, the front end is acceptable, but rear of the B-Pillar I don't know what the new Corvette is? Ferrari? GT-R? R8? Camaro? All not what I'd want from this car.

Since Bob Lutz has left GM has been epically failing.

I recall a lot of similar comments when the C6 was revealed.
