Minus the spoiler and scoops, what might be the base version looks pretty clean.

I like those ugly hood vents. I think they are on the GS not the base car. At least you have a choice.

These latest views of the C7 have turned me around.
I like it!
The wife is coming around, too!
Maybe it's that the side grille is black in these pics, and you can't see the back in any of them.

I have newfound hope!
Instead of the Fruitstripe gum colors, can I see a front shot in that blue/black, please?
It will be my new desktop pic!

I agree with you... Change is difficult to accept, initially. Even though I am a soon to be 1st time Corvette owner, TPW Jan. 7, I am confident that most C6 owners will turn around, once they inspect the C7 in person. IMHO.

By the way, my plan (always subject to change) is to enjoy my 2013 Grand Sport Convertible for at least the 3 years of GM factory warranty coverage. The time laspe should be sufficient for Chevy to address any kinks in the C7. Perhaps, by then, the pricing will be less than MSRP, with possible discounting.

When Car&Driver, Road&Track or Motortrend arrive, I look at the cover or the index to see if thy have anything Chevy related or something Hyperexotic to read about...if not it just goes into the library for reading later on. lol


I got MotorTrend on Saturday and saw that Telsa..
She's probably like my mailman, in that I think that Jackazz reads my mags before giving them to me!

Thanks for posting up the entire article. I dig what I'm seeing on the c7 and I realize sketches are almost showing the real car. That said I am convinced the real car will look superior on detail with a more balanced perspective.

This is a new era of design for corvette and even though I dig my black beauty c6 coupe ...i know I will be proud of the new corvette...(and dream to eventually cough up the cash to buy one)

At least it does not have a big gold Chevrolet logo in the middle of the grill...

Ok, I like it. But where does the front license plate go?

Very dangerous to ask this Group an open-ended question like that

Pathetic

C & D must be in desperate condition to print an article like that. It's so bad that even I could have written one with more "common" rumors and styling guesses from the web.

My guess is the lower front where there is an opening below the grill
