I loved the looks of my C4 (after the restyling), was not thrillled about the C5, and really like the C6!

To each their own, I guess. That's why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors.

I'm glad we live in a country, and at a time, where we have a choice about about really uninmportant things like this.

Agreed. Age?

Overall I like it. I like some elements better than the c6, but overall still think the c6 is better looking. (maybe time will change that?) Dunno though, I still prefer smooth and curvy as opposed to hard lines and edgy. Smooth and curvy seems to age better while hard lines and edginess look awesome when the car is released but don't stand the test of time (to me at least)

Get real...look at the LCD and boob buttons on the 2 pictures...nearly identical. Look at the steering wheel....nearly the same...look at the gauge cluster...pretty damn near the same shape...Look at the tail lights too..try to tell me those are not camaro...

2021 C6 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

I guess it will grow on me. Not the wow factor I had on first seeing the C6 though.

I think the C7 profile just jumped to the top of my all-time podium, for all cars not just Vettes. The nose is equal parts elegant and sinister. I actually like that the interior draws some inspiration from the C4, which to me feels most cockpit-like. The rear is my least favorite but still ranks well against what other sports cars are doing right now. Overall, I want to change my spending plans.

First page of the article has clearly at the top ... "Photos by James Haefner". It didn't say "Renders" .... Just sayin'

Moving a little bit slower, but still want to mash the go pedal, and look good doing it.

Dead serious.

Look at the two interior pictures...If anyone says they don't look close for certain features / areas they need the eye exam

To each their own if you like it or not, but to say they don't look a bit alike is just being a troll IMO.

None of the renderings I've seen have made me want to run out and buy one.

I'll reserve judgment until I see it in person.

It's too bad, because I was hoping it would be love at first sight. Maybe it will grow on me.

I am liking it, but not loving it. I don't think I will ever like that rear. Those tail light vents are ridiculous.

These are photos, not renders. Photos with a little Photoshop majic applied. All good photographers must be skilled in Photoshop these days. You see the same re-touching done in the sales brochures all the time. They're not called drawings ...

The part that puzzles me is months ago we saw renderings that looked just liked this and many people thought it was ugly. Now, someone the exact same thing is awesome?

Hopefully ugly will turn into awesome for me but it reminds me of the exact process that happened with the GT-R for me, ugly, then and now.

They almost got it perfect

Love what they did with whole car, but a Camaro rear on a Corvette is just plain ridiculous. I bet the aftermarket manufacturers already have a modified rear fascia on the drawing board. With so many poeple not liking the *** end of this thing a modified rear can't come too soon. All that being said, I'm really excited about the future possibilities with this car.
