"The short answer? Oh, yes.

There’s more than a hint of Ferrari 599 in the C7’s stance and demeanor, but that’s not a bad thing."


They say seeing is believeing with this car.
I've yet to see it .

Good article. I agree with everything they said about the BRZ. So much hype before it came out then nothing.

Hopefully it comes to an autoshow near you. If not, try using this site.

Looks like Nicolas Cage after winning a sex change pageant ... somewhat disturbing.

Thats what i thought, Cage, or the guy from 'Friends'

its a pic of of nicholas cage wearing a womans wig and breasts. Its a photoshop I guess. Im not sure why you would want that?

I think the greater hint is the ferrari f12 berlinetta. It looks more like that to me.

Not really sure what to make of the article written by someone who has a name derived from cattle! Seriously, they mention is looks like a Ferrari which really means what anyway, otherwise the article has alot of negative tone! The overbearing lines and the rear are mentioned negatively, not sure why you posted this Alan.

I didnt get that from it. He says when you see it, do you want it? "Oh Yes." To me thats a good thing. He has stated the obvious also. That some people arent sure about certain things. Which reflects what we are all reading here. But the overall impression im getting from the article is that GM has hit a home run with this car. Am I wrong?

alanhang

his statement about the suburu not looking so great I totally agree with. It might be a great sports car for the money, but I also thought it looked bland when it came out. I liked his statement about when you leave the car, do you look back at it. I have had a number of cars over the years as most of you have. Certain ones make you look back at them, and you smile. We all know that feeling. He feels this new vette makes him do that also. I liked that. He praises GM in what they accomplished at the end of the article. I personally thought the article was bang on and positive about the car.

Big Dan 427

You're right he did say "oh yes" to wanting it but the tone of the article to me seemed very wishy washy! Is it fair to say that "stating the obvious" is not necessarily a positive spin when the obvious is deemed negative? In all fairness I like all of us should want to make up my own mind, some of these guys who have an opinion like us shouldn't be given too much credit one way or the other IMHO~!

alanhang

he also near the end states that the rear lights make the car look way more modern.

after re reading the article the only negative that I see is about the subaru Brz. The vette he seems to love. Am I wrong?

Not that bad of an article, but the reference to the 599 is not accurate in my opinion. I agree with the previous statement that it has mor of teh F12 look then the 599.

You be the judge.

Ferrari 599 GTB


New C7


Ferrari F12


No comment on the taillights.

Big Dan 427

You keep referring to the author alan, I appreciate your glass half full approach. He mentions how his designer friends are not enamored with the plethora of lines and creases and how the taillights don't work although he himself is not sentimental about them. GENERALLY SPEAKING, the article is not a total win IMO, even though the author likes it he defers to his pals and they exude negativity. At the end who cares what they think right?
