i think the c7 overall is really cool. i just can't ever see myself really feeling the want to own one. the one recent car i see some styling que's come from that i absolutely would love to own is the lotus evora

everything from the similar seats to the angles just seem to flow much better on this car. even dig the round led taillights and the very basic but high quality interior. there are just no distractions and everything screams quality
if you guys haven't seen one of these close, click the link and see if you pick up on what i'm talking about

Prediction - this is the first of many posts and many threads that will "denounce" the C7 by current C6 owners. The new car is awesome - in every way. It's change. I will have one - eventually. Seem like a bunch of nit picking just because some either don't like the change or are trying to justify something to themselves. Just my opinion.
Then someone posts the profile of the Ferrari F12 against it and it's damned near identical, just straighter lines than the new $350,000 Ferrari. The air dam on the front is about a direct knock off of the Ferrari 458 air dam.
I think it's gorgeous. I'll move into a C7 a few years from now when I can get 0% financing.

You know it's funny how I've seen post after post about how great HUD is and how people are installing them on the cars that weren't equipped with it. Well, here the only big difference is it's now in color and more options and on the dash but...it's on a C7 and thus it's no good.
Why has the C6 forum suddenly become the C7 haters forum? I'm afraid to go to the C5 site.

I do agree but it's a little late to criticize don't you think? Now, after people have actually driven one, or heck, even seen one in person, then reviews would certainly be nice and a negative review never hurt anyone. That's really all I'm saying. The criticism is coming off much more mean spirited than "constructive."

Question: if someone wasn't a C6 Corvette owner, had never owned a Corvette and mostly didn't pay attention to cars---if the saw the C7 pics and drawings, do you think they'd say,
"Oh, yes, I can see the resemblance. That's definitely a newer, updated version of that other car, the C6, I looked at."

Maybe the new generation that grew up with video games will like it, but not me. I wanted a few more features, like ventilated seats, and integrated bluetooth, but not that crap. At least you can choose a digital full tach, but looks fake. Ferrari jumped on that band wagon too, but at least they left the tach alone. The instruments on the C6 are just about perfect for a sports car IMO. I'm appreciating the C6 more after the unveiling of the C7. A lot of things are crap, but overall, GM got it right, especiall with the fully-decked models. It hurt to get the 4LT, but wouldn't have bought one any other way. The alcantara parts of the CE were a must for me too, and make the car a little more 'special', and it's a pleasure to drive. Will keep it for a few years for sure

I'm old-fashioned. Give me an analog speedo and tach. I just got a GMC Terrain Denali with intellilink and I find all the technology distracting and, at times, annoying.

The major issue is that the older folks wont know how to use it 
But GM has made it very clear that they don't care since this generations Corvette is for the younger
crowd!

Honestly, if I'm looking at anything other than the radio or the road, it's the HUD. I very rarely look down at the dash gauges. I think this new layout is ok--a step in a good direction.

The tach might be distracting to some of you older guys on the forum. However for the younger corvette owner like myslef I have been waiting to see something like this in Americas Sports car. The italians and japanese have had it for a while. The corvette has to be a comparable to cars like the GTR. Im not trying to say you guys are old geezers but somethimes you have to teach an old dog new tricks. Once you get used to a dash like this you will never be able to go back to your standard cluster again. It really is about time GM made a BIG statement with their halo car and with the c7 I really think they have done it. As for the tail lights imo they should have stayed round however who cares when your driving this beautifully constructed true sports car im sure they will be the last thing on any of our minds.
While I am also not a fan of the rear, I am sure it will grow on me.

No, I can tell you that I don't like the interior or exterior of the C7. I am not blindly "brand loyal" as many here seem to be and don't need the C7 to "grow" on me. I don't like it....the lines, the rear end, or the cockpit. Just like Nissan had me with the 350Z Roadster, they lost me on the 370Z Roadster. GM has me with the C6 Convertible but will lose me to whatever convertible I buy next....unless it's the 427.
