I like it more than I did the C6 when it made it's debut. GM definitely moved the ball forward in design and performance. I can't wait to see it in person.
I guess black wheels are still "in" as well.

I like everything about it except for the rear lights, they should be round or oval! The real killer is the wife loves it! Now if I could find a way to keep the 99 and get this....Hmmm. I could learn to live with the backend though!

I love it. It'll take some getting used to, as it is different (Nothing will be the same), but we will get used to it. I think the modern era for Corvette truly starts today. I can't wait to see it in person at the NYIAS. Bravo, GM, for the car and the way they revealed it.

I think the front and side profile look really good. The car looks more grown up, but the rear I'm not sold on. I would have to see it in person. The interior looks like a step up from the c6 but still looks a little cheesy, again I need to see it in person to make any final judgement calls.

My first impression is that the car needs to be black. There are way too many styling distractions on the car. It gives is a Japanese look to me. The basic shape looks good, and the back looks better than I expected - especially given that the lower part is blacked out - that is the one thing that is not over done by being black.

This will grow on me personally faster than the C6 did (and I do like the C6).

I'm surprised that I agree with many of the comments. Yes, the goofy looking vents could be minimized if it was black, the front looks great but the rear is hideous (and the side isn't much better and the interior already looks dated - what a waste of 'effort'). Yes, this is obviously being pitched at youngsters. The red exterior paint looked awful with the completely mismatched red of the interior. And the ultra, ultra low profile tires? C'mon, that looks as bad as 22 inchers on a C6. Still, from the front, it appears at least one actual designer was involved.
On the other hand, the overall effect may be much better in person.

This is the ugliest Corvette since the 1997 C5. The current C6 is the best Corvettes since the 1963-1967 Stingrays. The rear of this car is the worst part of the car but in general it looks like a C6 that was customized by people with no sense of design or taste. 
GM has an annoying habit of snatching defeat from the mouth of victory. They ruined the Buick Enclave this year with a facelift. All I can say is I pray this dog is a leftover of the Wagner era and a new one is on the drawing table.
