Me neither. I really want to like it more than I am. The shots from the rear, and the rear side don't seem as elegant as the wide body C6 car.

Wouldn't sweat it. The "reveal" mostly showed the C7 car from the front. It looks good that way, as it also does from a birds eye view. But some of the other angles....I'm not feeling it. And...

The entrance looks boarded up, and I see broken windows....why in the world would they hold the unveil here? This is supposed to be GM's flagship car. I find it very hard to believe. Do the...

I've been here for 10 years but rarely post. It seems like a fair amount of the posting volume is done by a small subset of people. I can't understand why some people feel the need to weigh in on...

The viper turns heads on the road everywhere it goes. It may be a design that not everyone likes, but it is a strong and bold design just the same. I really hope I come to like the new C7, but the...

In my humble opinion, the new C7 will be an improved car in every aspect save one, the styling. If what we've been exposed to is accurate.

Dang I'm a little bummed now. I hope the C8 goes back to being a curvy car instead of a chisled one. I hope the vehicle grows on me more once I see it in person....*snif*

I'm not feeling the love on the harsh chiseled angles from what we're assuming is the new C7. Corvette, for most of it's life, has been a curvy car. No rendering I've seen thus far would look...

Given that, in a worst case scenerio, someone on the street could be killed, a warning light at a minimum would be prudent. I have never lost my top, because of the stories I've read here. The...

I had a C5 and now own a grandsport. While these renderings don't show a hideous car by any means, I am having trouble warming up to it for some reason. A year or so ago I posted that the new C7,...

It depends doesn't it? If the real deal looks anything like what we've seen so far, it's fair to say the leak already happened. If we get to the Janurary reveal and we're all surprised, then they...

The cartoon version is a modern looking vehicle, a bold design leap ahead. From the profiles I've seen of the C7, it represents a slightly tweaked C6. And the C6 was a tweaked C5. We're overdue...
