For all the winers fork up the extra 3k and you can love it more then your C6....I think after a few years seeing the new rear end, it will grow on you. I wasn't a fan of a lot of cars until I saw them driving on the streets everyday.

No, this is not the forum for C7 info. It goes in the C7 forum. Even if you currently own a C6. Who owns a C7 yet?

As much as I still like the looks of the C6 rear, I cant for the life of me understand why someone would want their new generation Vette looking just like their old one. :crazy2:

I dont think they'll sell many of those.

people crack me up...."OMG they didn't change the car at all" (C5 to C6)

now...."OMG they ruined the car it doesn't have standard Corvette tail lights"

:crazy:

People complained about the C5 and C6 when they came out, nothing ever changes. In 2 years, or less :lol:, I'm selling my C6 and getting a C7. :thumbs:

The C7 rear end is designed to sell Camaros.

out driving at night, i have been noticing the styling of some other gm products, and see what they are going for. while we may not like the rear styling of the c7, and we are certainly entitled to our opinions, I think they are trying for brand recognition. the less expensive models take cues from the c7. by hyping the new vette, they create buzz. this helps sell more vettes to non vette folks (hopefully), and secures more audience for the lower tiered cars. at least thats how i see it.

I check it out at Carlisle this week. Unless it looks better in person I'll be waiting for a rear end restyle, or the C8.

There's others also saying they'll wait for the C8.
If you don't like the C7, why would you think you'll like the C8 any better :confused:
Is the C8 going to look like a C6 again :crazy:
Just sayin' :cheers:

A GM exec told me that the tail lights are that way to have a common theme among Chevy. Ed Wellbornes idea. No one can stand up to him.

I can believe that- - got behind a new Malibu the other day. Same tail lights. Camaro- -same tail lights.

I think most don't necessarily think the C7 should have round or oval tail lights, but the big complaint is that it looks like a Camaro (and an angry one at that). Anything else would have probably been all right. But why make it look almost exactly like the much cheaper sporty car from the same manufacturer, instead of maintaining a Corvette identity?

i am so happy i got my 2013 c6 its been perfected thru the c6's time i will be moving on to a c7 at some time in the future .when the time comes for a c7 the tail light difference will be long forgotten and the bugs will be fixed ,but for now i have a great car in my c6

don't understand your point - the C8 doesn't have to look like the C6 to look good, it just shouldn't look like the C7:lol:

:iagree:

After seeing the round tail light kit on the C7, I like the stock C7 lights. To me, the angular look matches better with the rest of the car.

Also I like the C7's better highway MPG with cylinder deactivation, and the updated interior electronics. Maybe I'll get one in about 5 years if I ever get bored with my '13 GS.

hawkgfr 08-18-2013 09:11 PM

I give the hideous tail one/two years tops...Really leaning towards one year lol...




It's as if the tried to make it as ugly as possible. I agree with firing the guy that said the azz is a go for production.



I mean somewhere I saw an amateur rendering of the same rear with different tails and it looked like sex.
