Some folks just can't get out of the past. It's pretty funny really.

Good point. At the end of the day I guess the only opinion that counts is the person that owns the car.

Now you just need white wall tires...............

And chrome, lots and lots of chrome.

Especially the chrome crap. And where are the vents.

I have not gone through the whole thread to see if someone posted a side by side comparison picture or not. If so that might make it easier to determine.
At this point I like the look of the kit, but then again I am a traditionalist, so it would be more likely to appeal to me.

I, for one, love the new design. I think it is fresh, revolutionary, and beautiful. This is the first new Corvette that I have placed a deposit on.

The next thing you will see are delete-kits for the second side window.

It's OK if you don't like the new design - don't buy it.

Pretty simple conclusion.

There are certain traditional design icons that you don't screw with on a Corvette. Round tail lights are one of them. Ok... I know the C4 had squarish tail lights but I believe the illuminated brake lens was round. Anyways, the Corvette world was so ready for a new generation Corvette after missing the 1983 model year there wasn't much fuss over this feature or the car itself.

The C7 is awesome looking however the problem with the tail lights is that it makes you think Camaro! Nothing against the Chevy sibling but the last thing you want is the new Corvette taking styling cues from a Camaro. Especially since the rest of the car is so beautiful.

I rest my case. Oh yea.... and someone will make a small fortune selling "traditional" retrofit rear tail light kits if the actual C7 has square tail lights.

The C7 rear end looks too "camaro" to me. If you look at it from a mostly side view especially. I would love to see them side by side. Best I can say is to google up camaro images.

If you wonder where the design inspiration came from for the new C7 look no further than the Pontiac guys - the controversial C7 rear end is a knock off of a '67 Bonneville (check it out) - and you will find similar scoops, vents, and lots of bling on the last 2002 TransAm - the new C7 must have fallen victim to a different design team for every body panel - and all of them did their own thing without considering the C7 as a whole - nine feature creases in the hood alone? - a vent over the rear wheel wells? - if you wanted a modern stingray why not use design clues from the original 63 split window which is timeless and generally worth more today than the MSRP on the C7 - mechanically the C7 might be a masterpiece but the wrappings are already dated - how sad

Seriously? Give it a rest already. No one in their right mind would change the back of the car also. Talk about destroying the value of your car. The new vette looks like a pontiac like you look like a pontiac. Thanks for the commentary though Chief!

Interesting

Also look at the shots of the Lambroghini Concept and the C7 on this page. interesting. Everybody seems to be headed in roughly the same direction minus a crease or two.

Not sure if I like the C7 or not. Did a long walk through the Muscle City Museum this weekend. Dang the C6 is a gorgeous car. With the Grand Sport wheels & tires even more so.

it is not a competition between C6 and C7. They are both beautiful Corvettes.. Just like C1,C2, C3. Etc.

Davy_Baby9

The GS looks like any other C6 minus the ZR1. I'm glad you brought up the C7 looking like a Camaro, very original thinking, I don't think it had been brought up by anyone else yet?

z06801

Hey you didn't get the memo? This forum is only for the praise of the new car, no negative observations allowed and it does look like the Bonneville just needs the spare tire hump, and I'm sure the new rear will prove to be just a timeless as the 2002 TransAm

Pixcuter

I've got a C6. At first, I thought I'd miss the round tail lights, but the new look is so high tech that when I buy my C7 (in 2015) I'll leave the back end as is. Just my 2 cents. (Heck, it was hard enough going from BMW to Corvette.)

Sunnyflorida

That's what I thought until I got behind one and had a good look square on from my perch in my 93. There is something hugely aggressive about it. That extra bit of rubber?

Bedouin

I agree completely...that actually looks like a Corvette...

Chrome can be overdone for sure. I had powder coated tail lights on my c6 and thought it looked pretty bad ***.. To each their own I suppose.
