Is the 2014 C7 the Next 1963 Split Window?
Of course there is no substitute for the 1963 split window, but........
In 1963 a lot of Corvette buyers complained about poor visibility with the split window, others thought a split window looked outdated. Chevrolet listened and in 1964 no more split window.
First off, my hats off to GM for taking some styling risks and personally I don't mind the tail lights. But from what I have been reading, over and over and over............ It's no secret that a lot of Corvette fans think the C7's back end is Monkey butt ugly.
Could the non-round tail lights become a one year only C7?

Now as for the new tail lights, I don't foresee GM doing a redesign on the lights, as I am not sure how the round traditional lights will work with teh rear venting, but maybe the rear diffuser. I think that (at least for me) it needs some work and it maybe as easy as having it painted to match the body with just a small amount of the area in black.

I think the styling of the C7 will remain unchanged for the C7 series. There will be slight differences; trim, emblems and electronic upgrades. Engine upgrades; the C6 received a 30 HP increase three years into the series. Split rear window; the design of the roof could/will not support a split window. I personally don't like it on the C2 and wouldn't purchase a C7 with it.
