Wasn't The Transformers Sting Ray Concept Supposed To Be A Design Direction For C7?
What The H@LL Happened? I didn't totally love the Sting Ray Concept but it sure looked more Corvette like then what im seeing now!! :willy:
|
I remember when the C5v2 came out or rather the C6. Most C5 owners complained about how the car has hardly changed ect... several of them made the move to the C6 as the design grew on them.
Hell I loved the camaro's front end but hated the rear when it first came out. Now they have grown on me as well. I gotta say so far I like what i've seen from GM in regards to the C7. Not too crazy about the rear so far but I don't think it would deter me from getting one if I could afford one. As far as the interior well... its GM so I don't expect sport/luxury from them like I would Audi or BMW. |

2-1 people on this forum love the rear end so, GM should happily move on knowing there is a majority of support for the new direction. This is even before the reveal which will increase this love IMO.
So those that are in the minority can maintain their valid opinions and not buy one. If GM sells more than projected, as I predict they will, it is a huge statement. |
Some say they can see Stingray concept influence in the c7, there's a thread on that.
If there is, it is very subdued. Just another wild concept that would never see the light of production, really. |

If you look at the back of "stingray" and the rear of the C7 that Ox posted you an see the similarities.

Mission accomplished. And ditching the round tail lights? About time in my opinion. I see a lot of Corvette in the renders -- more so the later ones that subtly rounded out all the sharp edges in the original Jalopnik version, thus improving it 100% to my eye. The design of the C7 will, of course, be a critical determinant of the car's success. If the car falls short ANYWHERE (but particularly in the looks department), it will fail in the marketplace. Such is the level of competition. I cannot wait for 1/13/13...and by early 2014 we should know whether your side is correct...or mine...:D |

"More Corvette"...what a dumb comment. If GM puts it out, it is as Corvette as it gets or has ever gotten. |

It was universally hated by C6 owners. Now we know how out of step your opinion is.
I find that the C7 renders still retain much of the Corvette styling. I think it looks more like a design progression from the C6 as opposed to the Sting Ray which looks like a complete design departure of any Corvette. Sadly though, this thread by the OP's "design" is nothing more than a progression to further his rant about the C7 design. |

The problem I see is there is NO Corvette heritage in that rear end at all.

I thought the Transformers Vette was to Cartoonish / Hotwheels looking.

For someone who doesn't like the rear end, the stingray concept I think had more in touch with the rear end of the current car more than anything. When you see the C7 in a row of Corvettes from every generation, there's going to be no way you don't clearly know it's a Corvette. Gimme a break. |

Actually, this is the "way you will see it" when I pass you in my C7 while you are in one of your "20" outdated corvettes! :rock:
