C6 looks old in that last pic. Lacks the flair of a car designed in this decade IMO.

I think the whole roof painted body color would be looking much better. The black one just makes it look like its missing a top.


Notice the black one in front of it....

Looks pretty good to me.

Haters gonna hate.

You lose half the lines of the car. While they are at it, they can do the A-pillars.

Slow Vette

still not feeling the back end of the car.

I really want to like this car, and the reveal pics are actually starting to grow on me a little. But, after seeing these photos and video, I'm back at square 1....heading towards square zero.

I hope the production models look better on the road than this one did, because that C6 behind it simply looked better.

Not a hater at all, and if you could actually comprehend anything I've written (which you obviously can't) you would realize that. I'm not stupidly dismissing the C7 as many here are doing with the C6. It's a car that will be the best Corvette ever, from a performance, mechanical, and technology standpoint....no question about it....and I really want to love it.

My comments were based on this new video which I happen to think is the most revealing video yet of the Corvette's evolution. From a styling standpoint, I think the C7 is a bit too much boy racer (pardon the pun).....especially when you roll past a beautiful C6 Grand Sport and then come up on what appears to be another stunning car with too many stuck on black spoilers and vents. It's as if the designers went a bit too far and didn't know when to lift up the brush. This car had the potential to be at a design level with Ferrari, but I think they blew it.....a bit. Everything is fixable in time, and perhaps it will be cleaned up during the next few model years. All this is, of course, IMHO.

I still need to see one in person and I'm not saying I've changed my mind about buying one, but for the price point of the version I would want, I would probably choose something else....or nothing at all. I would more than likely upgrade my wife's Mercedes to an Audi S7 or BMW M6 rather than spend the money on another Corvette that is merely newer than my current one, and not necessarily something I would like better.....or not even as much....styling-wise. I have to see one in the flesh and drive one to make that final judgment.

I suppose what I've just written here is wasted on you and others of you ilk, but I figured I'd give you the benefit of the doubt and offer you the opportunity to read it. There are other schools of thought regarding this C7 and they're not all black and white.....it's a not all simply "love it" or "hate it"....but that may be concept you just can't grasp...and that's OK.

It did......and I wish it didn't.

when they spoke to the head of corvette, his comment was how much different he thought the look of the grey car was compared to the red one. I understood why they showed both. The red was obvioulsy more boy racer than the grey one. I was actually startled when they first showed the red. I thought, " gee I dont know, it looks like a little bit too much, and I dont like all the black." Then they showed shots of the grey one, I started to change my thinking because it just looked so much better to my eye. Less busy and more classy to me. I downloaded the grey car pics, and started comparing it to my favorite car out now, the f12 berlinetta. I was struck at how much it looked like it. When I look at these pics of the test mules now, I see that on those cars , they hadnt made the changes to those side pieces on the roof. They are black, but the ones at the show, all have that strip that makes the roofline look more continuous to me and a lot lot better. Im thinking that depending on the color you choose, it will make a big difference to the look of the car. But then again, I was surprised how much I like that picture I have seen of the yellow one. So I have taken the position, especially after so many people have said, "wait, you have to see it in the flesh, its gorgeous", that I will have to do just that , before I make a final determination. However the picture showing the red one that was on the wall, that has the silver wheels instead of the black, looks stunning also to me.

Or that could be the transparent top option.

alanhang

No I believe that the transparent one also has the frame rails now.

I really like the C7,...........the people that don't like the rear end,........will I am sure, have the choice of a myriad of kits that address this controversial aspect of this stunning new car.

I would buy one, but my almost as quick C5 has one feature that the C7 does not possess,............it is paid for.

Car looks so much better without the stingray badge on the side! I wonder if its an option to delete it, or the test driver took some wire and goo-gone to it.

phoenix90ZR1

I was driving the truck in which the video was taken in. It was a huge surprise to see this car roll up on us. We were wishing we were driving my Supra so we could try to entice the vette driver into some pulls. Oh well. I was a bit so so on the pictures but in person this car looks great IMO.

Larry/car

Wonder why they did that? Can be painted.

live2drive

Agreed. The blue accentuates the Stingray's bold lines. Great post OP.

speedlink

Of course this is a pre-production model. they haven't been produced yet! Production is scheduled to start in June.
got to keep up.
