Default The View?

The view, i.e., what we see when we are driving our Vettes looking forward. What do you think the view will be like on the C7 when compared with the C6/other generations? More pronounced power bulge, higher/more aggressive fender lines? C3 like? Any thoughts?

PS- Am I the only person wondering about this?

I'm not going to worry about the view until I am considering ordering z C7. And I will not consider ordering one until I can actually sit in a REAL C7.

Problem solved.


No one on here can answer your question right now (or would if they could).

I believe just as the forward view improved from c4 to c5.....that the sight lines will be closer and lower so it's even easier to place the front end where you want as the driver.

I can't say anything about the height on the edge of the front fenders yet I would think the top edge will be slightly more pronounced but not much and even that's just a guess. I believe reward visibility will be good and I have a feeling all the vents out back will help in reducing dust build up on the rear facia.

Should be the best vette yet!

Of course I am the eternal optimist.

It should look more interesting -- C6 is kinda dull; C5's undulations were much cooler.

I'm afraid rear visibility will be trickier with those long B-pillars.

It will be hard to see over my ear-to-ear grin.

If you ask the "experts" on this forum they will tell you it's going to look something like this:
