Not feeling the looks at all. To many body lines, too square in the back, it looks like it morphed itself from God knows what! The car lost its heritage and iconic features including the tail end and lack of roundness! Don't like it, also they "estimate" 450hp, they don't know? Great release GM!! Thumbs down!!!
You guys kill me. Stop whining and go buy a Mustang! The C7 is the most beautiful Corvette in the last 30 years! A huge step forward in design and affordable performance. Rev matching, standard Brembo brakes and a world class interior. And let's not forget the tech borrowed from the racing program.
put a PIC up, side by side, at 3/4 rear view, of the C7 and a Camaro. They are obviously related. This was never the case in the past. That's why I'll never buy one.

2nd gen Camaro and C3 do have some similar lines IMO.
It looks like it came from a "Transformers" story board. Which is to say not very elegant. I suppose if you're a fan of the art design style of the Cadillac you'll be a fan. For me, they missed on the C7 just as they did on the C6. For my money, the C5 is still the benchmark for modern Corvette design.

They are both chevys. Of ****ing course they are related.

BINGO!!!!
I couldnt put my hands on it, but was thinking it has too many sharp lines and then...you say Cadillac. Couldnt be more right. Less muscle car design and more sleek Cadillac design. Not good or bad to me just different.
Why did I know the first post I would read would be this type of stupid crap. The exact same thing happened in 2004.
These were the statements I remember from back then...
"They ruined it"
"It's not a Corvette"
"No pop-up head lights? End of the line for the vette"
"Glad I bought my generation, it was the last true vette"
"Interior Sucks
"Exterior Sucks"
"Engine should have had more power"
.....BLAH BLAH BLAH
Every one has the right to their own opinion, but you think you might wait and actually see/drive one before you curse GM for ruining the brand?
As an owner of a C5 & C6, both great cars, I will be once again making a trip to the local Chevy store to put my order in. No test-drive needed.

C5 is just another old generation great for it's time for sure.

so what else can you see besides the dash seats body panels and glass in the pictures? If you changed that on any car it would look different.
shorter wheel base and wider track is better handling. Lower car and lower CG probably too. 50/50 also with no mid engine is nice
