Default Jalopnik: four months ago

Jalopnik's C7 illustrations were released four months ago.

The butt is clearly discernible.

Yeah. Lots of people hate the butt Jalopnik drew (and C&D regurgitated). Got it. Hideous, atrocious, awful, won't buy it, ruins the Corvette, first one you weren't immediately in love with, how could they, Camaro, Camaro, omg, OMG, what are they thinking, no one will buy it, morons, idiots, screwups, fire everyone, sharpen the pitchfork, where's my torch, I'm so buying an Othercar GT instead, the streets will run with blood, you made my dog cry, Camaro Camaro Camaro ugly ugly ugly die die die I keep screaming but the pixels don't change mommy make the bad thing go away.

Welcome to every thread here for the past four months.

It is just a plastic body panel. The aftermarket will fix it for those having a hissy fit.

Hundreds of posts of absurd hyperbole thrown at this thing over and over and over and over and over again, much of it by the same folks for four months, some of it by Johnnys-come-lately who can't bother to look at any existing thread or read any posts before "weighing in," but I'm the one having a bad evening? Get a grip, people. Yeah, there's no new info, yeah, you're bored and don't have anything better to do, but this horse was beaten to death and hauled off for glue two months ago and you're just banging on a bloody stain on the ground now. Aren't anyone's arms getting just a little bit tired?

Hasn't anyone noticed how weird the roof looks?

Jinx, I haven't been around for a couple of months and was just thinking the same thing when I dropped in yesterday. The rear end has been the butt of most of the criticism but the rest of the car isn't so hot either.

I am hoping it's all just a bad joke.
