I'd say just the tail lights really.

With the amount of love/hate for the rear taillights, I would bet someone comes out with a taillight conversion.
Either to round or another design.

:iagree:

All I know is the best designs are polarizing. You either love them or hate them... no in between. :tup:

Exactly, and even people who hate it still will respect it.
They just have to justify why their car is "better" all the time. :stirthepot:

:bowrofl:

I like the design, and THANK GOD real seats finally and a very nice interior. Lets give them props too, not killing the Manual.

yea I like it as well, though not many american car brands have killed manuals (yet)

have to give props to them for trying a more futuristic look for their iconic Sports car

:iagree:
still need to change the tail lights lololol

Blacking out the tail lights will be a pretty simple fix. Will blend them in with the black outline. I'm sure we will see a lot of this.

I am working on some photo chop real tails as we speak! lol

I definitely approve of these if they were going to go different??? Though I prefer just staying classic on the lights...
I don't think the new tails will make it past the next refresh. Doesn't matter if the C4 had ovals. At least oval is 90%of round. These camaro lights will upset the purists. And purists are 75% of corvette buyers.

in the photo Econ posted.. bad idea, the vents get blocked with that design.

Also, I dont think any purist can really harken back to the round tail lights, nor should they. And i dont see how you can call them classic when they have changed 3 times?? Its like Z owners saying that a twin turbo is the classic Z setup.. when its not.. or that a v6 is.. when its not..

As Mike Pointed out the tails havnt always been round. Also the very first corvette only had one light per side instead of 2.

The fact is still that if you looked at this car you would recognize it as a corvette.

P.S also, they stepped away from popup headlamps and that didnt cause too much of a problem.

Either way, im the type of person that as long as I can recognize it as the corvette, and it stays true to its purpose (moderately prices really fast sportscar etc) then im okay as long each new version moves the car forward and not backwards.

pchop above... exhaust pipes... go have another look! lol :)

the C7 is so nice looking. The Chevy dealers are going to have a big problem selling the remaining c6 that they got.

meh, I like the stock look better.

me and you are starting to agree on tihngs alot more now...

somethings wrong...

Don't worry, the Steelers still suck.

We can definitely agree on that.

this was just posted on corvette's facebook... now their going to rub its ugly ace in our face! nice lol

I love it

Put some gold wheels on that one and you could have 49er Super Bowl celebration edition!

After seeing the new Vette in the Jay Leno video I changed my mind; it isn't the air ducts, vents and intakes that look cheap, it is that awful, terrible red paint...YUCK! In grey, blue or especially black it may look as sexy as a 370Z.

I think the radical design is an attempt to market to younger buyers. The perception is always that vettes are old man cars. I hope they attract younger buyers without alienating the loyal older purists. After all, it's still a fast, dirty, sexy sports/muscle car

:bowrofl: I'm probably getting red.

but that blue....very sexy.

Ha...that's funny. Is it just me or does that red have a slight pink tinge to it?

Depends on light. Red can be difficult to photograph.

+1

I want my next car to be dark blue :yum:

Its torch red, it actually has a slight orange tint to it. I prefer the victory red they used from 05-10. Torch was on the C5, they did one 2005 that color as a test run and said it didn't work for the C6, so they switched to victory, but in 2011, they went back to torch.

Not a huge fan of the rear, but will have to see it in person. it seems like a great deal and great car, though, if the interior is nice. I don't like GM in general, but this car might tempt me in the future if I can afford it, especially if they refresh/change the taillights. But we'll see what the next Z looks like as well and how it's priced.

Yeah, despite what Chevrolet unveils and how they impress, I wouldn't underestimate the Japanese when engineering + designing a new car.

I would after seeing the Q50......

I didn't like the rear in pics either, but when I saw it in the Jay Leno video it looked pretty nice.

you say that but..

all honda's = bleh
acura's = ugly
toyota's = bland
lexus's = ugly
The new Nissan's arent boring or bland, but they arent exactly striking either. So far what we have seen from Infinity is scary.

Plus the new Infiniti's have no new powerplants.. bleh.

Yeah, in person I am sure I would like it. The black Stingray on the Chevy website is crazy sexy!

You know whats awesome about Camaro SS, Corvette and 5.0 mustangs?

If you cant buy them just yet or just don't want to? You can rent them @ Hertz & Avis. On special, a corvette for a whole weekend is $550 ( $400 a day when not on special). Big savings and you can beat up the car. lol

Not bad if you're going to put some time behind the wheel. I do it a few times a year with vettes and camaros. :tup:

but aren't they all automatics?

Boo! And they are rentals. Fawked up to all hell. :icon17:
