Totally agree 
, with the other one being "haters gonna hate".........how stupid and childish!
There are several guys on here that say this on a daily basis, just because some do not like everything about the C7 as they do............grow up guys!!

Looking at this pic. That car is butt ugly in TR IMOP. The entire pic don't work. Roof and all. Having said that I'm a huge fan of TR. But it takes on a complete different personality in CG.
So much different that I can see myself buying one. GM erred by not introducing the 14 in CG on 1-13-13. Would have been less controversy. White, blk, anything but TR for the intro.

Yep and most of us will like them eventually. When I first saw the C6 at a dealership unveiling I did not like it at first. Some of my Vette friends called it a Vette with Toyota headlights. Part of my dislike was I owned/still own 2 Trans Am and a Vette and the thing they all have in common are pop up headlights. Eventually as I saw the C6 more often I liked the headlights and pop up headlights became archaic. I feel most of those who dislike the rear may eventually like it. If not, there are plenty of other nice cars to choose if the C7 is still not their cup of tea.

I rode behind a Camaro and noticed that the tail lights are round on the bottom and flat across the top, way different than the C7. The C7 tail lights go perfectly with the design of the rear end which I think is the best part of the car. Different strokes for.....

I am giving up trying to judge the C 7 from pictures. Each time I see a picture from various angles the car looks so different it is hard to really get a handle what it looks like.
I am just going to wait until I can actually see and drive one before I decide.

That's odd because I had the same feeling the first time I stood next to an F-117 Stealth. I just couldn't get a handle on the shape even in bright sunlight. Fortunately, I think the C7 looks a great deal better than the F-117. As for the tail lights, I think they fit well with the edgy styling. Round ones would be out of place IMO.

The back end looks good till you get to the lower section.
By the time they've worked the kinks out, we might get an ''aero tune'' that restyles that lower section.
Certainly the aftermarket will have a fix.
Which might just be about the time I get one new
The afterburner tail lights have really grown on me. The lower bumper still has not. Doubt it ever will, I'll probably be feeling this way with this particular bumper the way I felt about the C5 and 92-96 C4's back ends. Complete wasted opportunity.
