It looks superb! GM did well on the new C7.

[F-Nut]

When I saw the spy photos i was pretty skeptical. But now that the official pictures are out, I really do like it. I think its a huge step forward for this car. The standard C6 vette (non widebody) really was too plain.

I'll hold off my final judgement until I see it in person next week. But I'm guessing it will only grow on me more from here.


Good job GM (and I don't say that often...)

I really like it......

Except for the steering wheel, that thing is hideous. What were they thinking??

[REMIX]

Great looking car except the taillights but I can get used to them.

The shape still looks like a generic mashup car from a video game that couldn't afford legit licencing, goes for a lot of cars these days I think car design has peaked at the 458 for me.

Too many conflicting lines and bling for my taste.

Bring back the clean elegant skilful lines! Gen-Y has horrid taste.

All down hill from here I tell you!!!

If all the grills and scoops are truly functional, I like it.
If all the bling is strictly for appearance, I do not.

All functional, even the small vents around the tail lights let air escape.

I think its a neat feature... as long as hot air isn't coming in when the windows are down like on the 512 BB ;-)

Based on the photos

Front end and side view look great.

But I see they really nailed it with Aztek styling on the rear, its like a bad pontiac front end grafeted onto the rear. the interior looks like a slightly blinged and leathered version of my equinox. In other words GM still does not get it.

Lets see how it all looks in the flesh, and how the build is.

I am sure the interior is better, how could it not be. But I would not hold my breath for anything of great quality, and you might self asphixiate if youre thinking this is going to have Hyundai build.

I think it looks pretty good in the photo's and in black will look mean. The only weak spots are the muilt-single exhaust, easily fixed in the after-market and the A pillars not body colored, again easily fixed.

The more I look, the more i agree.

The C6 prices did not go up and will not go up purely based on the C7

We'll, if we're using Porsche 911 redesign as the yardstick for "dramatic"...

It does look to be a mashup -- lots of interesting elements, but kind of like the Ferrari California it just doesn't hang together. It looks like someone copied-pasted the Camaro rear end onto the last Corvette. (In fact, I think copy-paste has a lot to do with the shortcomings of modern car design...)

Also not sure the 1953-style Corvette grille motif works with the 2012-style Corvette nose.

[Kds]

Cosmetically to me the design has "A LOT" of issues...........in no particular order........

1 - Get rid of the swimming sperm badge on the front fenders.

2 - Totally redesign the rear fascia from scratch.

3 - Reduce the number of planes on the front hood/fender surface.

4 - Paint the hood vents, rear 1/4 vents, side fender vents, and roof panel in the body color.

The interior works for me...........as for the performance specs, etc, it's all total "guestimation" at this point.

[Devilsolsi]

I keep wanting to like it, but so far I can't. I look forward to seeing it in person to really make a decision.

A few of the things that are bothering me are:
1. The rear end, it just looks terrible, and that exhaust isn't helping
2. The vents and scoops - they all look like they were put on at a Pep Boys
3. The rear quarter window. Not sure if that is what they are actually called but it really doesn't belong on the car

The car just doesn't look like it will age well, but again, I want to see it in person.
