Default Poll: Taillight shape emotional attachment

I know we will soon have confirmation soon. Just wanted to see how emotionally attached we all are to the shape of our beloved Corvette's taillights.

I am stuck on the look of the round.

I'm not stuck on the round lights as much as just wanting something that looks good. The renderings so far (rear) have not been something I'm warming up to. Perhaps the rear fascia design is tied more to the aero race needs than previous models? I'm still planning to order one, however, as I'm optimistic what is revealed on 1/13 will be a variation on what has been released-in a positive way.

As long as they look right with the car.. look as though they belong with the rest of the design I'm all for something different. Not stuck on four round tail lights in any way. I have a fealing they'll be striking to look at, and probably be one of it's more talked about features. And all the strife they've caused will soon fade away.

The only thing that I would insist on staying round are pictured in your avatar Torch (cant even imagine square ones)....

As far as taillights are concerned, I'm open to change.

Judging from your avatar, you've got more than the shape of the taillights on your mind .................

They don't have to be round, (although I voted that way) but they should NEVER resemble a Camaro or any other vehicle that's been out for years! If the Corvette does indeed have a Camaro look, I predict sales will falter.

I'm thinkin' my avatar is too distracting.
Maybe I should change it to pee wee Herman, then they'll all feel silly for drooling.

Actually thinking of keeping her year 'round...Maybe I'll poll that idea.

I've liked the round. I don't mind if it changes. I just hate that it looks ugly and like the camaros. People love the camaro. Minus the *** end. So to copy at all from it is a mistake.

Long as the car performs, and looks good as a whole. I'm not stuck on round tail lights.

Beautiful. Nice to wake up to that view. Being retired, and not worried about getting to work each day, I could live with that...until I need to run to the grocery store.

I like it here, where when we do get some snow...it's gone in a week. Even then, the county plows my street the same day it snows, so if I do need to get out in it, it's no big deal(but not in the Vette).
