C7 Camaro stern gets a stern response from me!

The problem is that the styling Bar was set so high with the C5 and the C6. I am reserving judgment until I see the real thing. 
Having said that, I have to agree, that is one fugly rear end.

Also, if the spy car is covered, they could put some fake panels and stuff on it to throw of the real look of the car. Until I see a actual picture from GM, I'm not going to put too much stock into these renderings. I just dont believe that GM would make the corvette so butt ugly as that. This is there icon.

They look like two different cars to me. The roof line is different. The spy car is more flat on top. The spy car back isn't as high and doesn't have the big spoiler on it. I think this is a early April fools joke. lol

I think the rear in the rendering is ugly. I dont think it will really look that bad. I'm hoping the lines look more like this below. Just a little change can make a huge difference. The spy car is camouflaged pretty good.

If the new C7 looks anything like the Jalopnik Renderings (shown above) then in my humble opinion GM missed the mark. I’m a “died in the wool Corvette Enthuse and owner”, but the Jalopnik Rendering is too much like the C6 (but Butt Ugly). Its too squared off in the rear end and the sharp edges suck. It looks too much like the Camaro in the rear. If I’m gonna spend the big bucks for a new C7 Vette that looks like a Camaro then I’ll spend the little bucks and buy a Camaro and get more bang for my bucks (ZL1). Bottom line, if this is the best GM can come up with for a new generation Corvette then they really screwed the Pooch this time. Long Live the C5/C6 is all I can say.
It beter not look like that.

Besides the Camaro lights, it also has a Cadillac look with how the center comes to a point. Both of which don't belong on the Corvette. Unless it's a C1, then a Corvette should have rounds in the back.

Long live the C5/C6! I've got a 2008 Corvette Coupe and will either sell it for a ZR1 or possibly get a new Shelby. At least Ford hasn't missed the target with its nameplate. Like everyone else has said on here, I am a diehard Corvette fan. But if the C7's rear end (the best part about a Vette IMO) looks anything like these drawings I'll pass. GM can keep their ricer looking, smaller displacement V8, POS.

All you guys are in an uproar, the same things were said of the C5 and C6 renderings also. Everyone is quick to forget the BIG rearend the C5 had compared to the old C4. The ones rolling off the line will be sweet, and as always will have some similarities to concept but won't be exact.

While I don't hate it as much as some of you do, I certainly don't like it very much either.
There is a Camaro resemblance for sure but do keep in mind that the Camaro does not have those tall side pods coming off the rear fenders like the Corvette rendering does.
Speaking of those side pod thingies, is it me or do they vaguely/distantly resemble the jowls on a bulldog or boxer?

why is it that so many newer cars and concepts are all so damn ugly these days?

Wow so close. Am not concerned about the design am concerned about the value. Once you buy a new Vette they are like worhtless. I have a 2012 and wanted to trade in to get a house. Am getting offers like $48 - 52K, the MSRP was $70k. Why don't GM design something with a resale value, like Germany auto makers?
