I am, but it's still like 3 weeks away. I'm most interested in how it looks on the exterior and interior. Just hoping it doesn't get those square camaro tail lights.
C7 = the next gen Corvette. |

![]() ![]() I think the last spy shot through one of the videos they keep releasing showed a circle taillight but who knows what they decide in the end.

Why not get the square tail lights? I mean they already went away from pop up headlights and look even more ferrari-esque. Plus the side profile screams GTR to me. It is blocked off almost identical and it doesn't help with the blacked out A-pillars. I am still anxious to see what it looks like at the unveiling. But I still wish they took a queue from SRT with the new Viper and go back to some of the roots of the vette for styling queues. I am not talking retro, just some of the iconic shapes that can only be a vette and work that into the design.

I agree those were ridiculous. I just hope it looks much better at the unveiling and in person than any of the renderings that have been published thus far.

Yeah, the big issue was some renderings had Camaro taillights and one test car did also so all the Vette owners freaked. They do not want anything to do with the Camaro as the Vette is a "higher caliber" machine.

I think they were just mad that the Camaro tail lights look like absolute sh1t.

Indeed. Vette needs to retain the 4x circular tails.
