Default Post Here if you LIKE the C7 !

One thing I remember is a lot of present owners wanting upgraded seats, a choice of more than one type of seat.
Better materials for the Interior, more up to date electronics.
Better styling, more Modern, OMG, the C6 is 9 years old , yada yada yada and the list goes on.

Seems to me GM did just that, but from the number of Negative posts, like 90 %, no one is happy with these improvements

Understandable, not everyone is going to like everything that is new and redesigned, at least not at first.
But the amount of Negativity is Amazing

Yes, there's a few things I would like to see different but, nothing I couldn't live with or that would stop me from getting one if/when the time comes.
Of course, That's Just Me and Yes, everyone is different.

Like the subject line says:

It definitely looks like a car that you have to see in person to really appreciate. The rear end is going to take some time to get used to, but I'm warming up to it a bit more compared to the first pics I saw yesterday.

At first 2 days ago i was like they ruined it. Now since i seen the videos know the technology that went into it i can say it's starting to grow on me. I still aint selling my c6z06 though. If i had to judge anything on it it would be the rear thats about it.

I too love it and feel like GM did a great job. Like everyone else who has a gripe, it is the rear but that is just one aspect of the total package. Once I get the green light from the boss(WIFE) I will be giving my C6 a garage-mate!

The more I see it, the more I love it. At a point now where I can't find anything I don't like about.

I agree and the rear could always be changed easily. I think it was previewed so early for just that reason.

I definitely admire the new c7. The details of the car are awesome. This z51 with MRC gets my vote

With a base price around 53 grand ......and an exciting option list...GM outdid themselves.

Would I prefer the black vents on top of the rear fenders to be body color? Yes but that's not a big deal to fix..

The ferrari f12 reminds me of the c7 corvette! And that's good company

I was afraid by the camaro rear at first ... but it doesn't bother me after seeing the real car.

I'm just waiting for high powered models to order ... My C5 has more hp/tq than the stingray yet ... Waiting for 650+ hp.
Don't want to be spanked with my new stingray car by stock 7 years old C6 Z06.

It's a sick car. People are analyzing it entirely too much though.

.... and not every Corvette has had round taillights so I wish everyone would just stfu about that.

It's a 2014 car. HELLO! Things change people!

Hahaha. Things change people had me rolling....

Change is good! I love the new car.

Same thing happened when the c6 debuted without pop up headlights. You d have thought the world was coming to an end....LOL

Now everyone loves the c6... Or most everyone...

Emotions are high and that's part of a strong design

I like it enough to consider purchasing one down the road, but not enough to make me think my C6 is yesterday's news, which in a way I'm glad. :o) I think the true test will be seeing and driving it as well as playing with the the new gadgets and hearing the new sound system.
