That ugly rear end won't look busy for long as it gets smaller and smaller in front of me in my C6Z in WOT.

I think the C7 is okay...
I absolutely wouldn't trade my C6 ZR1 for one even if GM came out with "the rumored" 750hp TT'ed C7 ZR1.
The styling of the C7 just don't grab me enough to take the obvious technology/performance jump.
Now when the C6Z came out, I owned a C5Z and just had to have the C6Z (so I bought one)...
Not the case this time with the C7Z.

I could have written any of the above posts just more poorly.
There is a lot of things going on with the design of the new C7 Z06 - harmony is not one of them.

I pretty much got my teeth kicked in for pointing this out in another thread, but Ferrari 458 Speciale does a spectacular job of bringing harmony to advanced aero. The argument is that if GM could charge >$300K for the C7 C06 then it could look better. I don't accept that a beautifully styled car has to be grossly expensive.

To my eyes it is not young and fresh as it is copying fads and trends started over a decade ago by bored kids with Hondas, Camrys and Nissan Sentras.
Big Clunky Wing, Black Wheels and Clear tail lights - Really cutting edge - in 2002. Not so much today.
