PERFECT!! YESS!! Hit the nail on the head. The back of the C7 is so completely ugly and out of character with the iconography of the Corvette that the C7 deserves the uncoveted 5 Aztek award, delivered with a big Raspberry.

And a strong hint that GM needs to redesign the C7 to look like a Corvette from the back, not a 1980s Japanese economy car, not a Batmobile, and most assuredly not a CAMARO!

Yeesh.

Dear Troll,

Reviving a thread after 45 days of inactivity is against forum policy. Go see the car in person, if you still don't like it, enjoy other forums or sections of this forum because the C7 isn't for you if you hate it.

Therefore, IBTL!

I still love it that people are shocked by similar tail light features of the corvette to other Chevy products. Nobody was complaining when the cobalt, impala and camaro all had dual lights on both sides with the last models. Get over it...

Park the corvette next to the camaro and stand behind them and tell me they look the same and I'll tell you the same thing as I would if you told me the new C7 looked ugly.

Have you checked the latest performance statistics? 460 Hp, 465 ft/lbs of tourque and the second fastest time around around VIR? The only car quicker was a 2102 Zr1. Beats all of the foreign models including Ferrari, Nissan GTR, BMW M6, la la la la..... All of that out of a z51 base model priced at around 60K. Imagine what the Z06 and Zr1 equivelents will do.

Those numbers should make everyone look at the tail lights and say...."what a cool car...I gotta have one". That is what I am saying. I love the styling of the C6 but the C7 has more edge, looks more aggressive and can kick A**. It's looking more and more that my first Vette will be a C7!

The back end of the car is a total abortion, it goes well beyond tail lights and into the Toyota Zone. Or the Batmobile Zone. Or, good god, the Camaro Zone. Pick one, pick all. The back end is a complete un-Corvette mess.

The proportions are out of whack with the rest of the car. The rear hatch swapped wrap around glass for a early 80s Toyota liftback hatch with limited visibility and limited cargo space and worst of all safety concerns (resulting from limited visibility).

Moving on to the busy cluttered styling in the back, it looks like someone slapped on cliches with a trowel.

And of course, after having the iconic and instantly recognizable four round tail lights since the early 1960s, some arrogant self absorbed Aztek and Camaro designers took it upon themselves to decide they should toss tradition and iconographic styling and instead apply lamps taken straight off the lesser Camaro.

I could go on but I won't, it's all been said several times over. And over. And that's because Corvette true believers are aghast at the violence that's been done to our favorite American Icon.
