I hope they have all or most of the bugs worked out before I start to like the looks.

Certainly not a hater i think it's sharp not a fan of the rear end or the interior of the car as others have said, i don't think it will grow on me and for the most part i generally like all Vettes, but like everyone else i have my favorite year Vettes, just don't think 2014 will be one of the favorites for me, but i do like to see some changes keeps things interesting !

They (GM) are certainly going after a younger demographic with this design... a little more boy racer in the design.. good bad or otherwise.... It is what it is... GM needs to bring in a younger buyer, or the car may be in trouble for the future...

I don't think anyone said it won't sell. Of course it will, but not to me. I hope it will grow on me. We'll see...

I have to agree with you and there will be some of the younger buyers that will be able to afford it, but the majority will either stick to the Rider group or if they are into Corvette's they will be buying the C5 and C6's.

I for one am not a fan of the new C7. I don't like the little glass area behind the B-Pillar, the rear hatch glass area or the rear end. The front is a take it or leave it in my opinion. Every new generation has had it issues, but those have always been small issue that I got over in a few months once the car was on the road, but I think this design is going to take a long time for me to embrace it. I am sure also that I am not alone.

I agree too. People are always looking for something fresh. The design will just need some time to grow on the folks who are not good with change. From what I have read the technology and performance upgrades will make the C-7 desirable. When the time comes for me to upgrade in a few years, I can see one of these in my garage.

I think it will sell, but by the time I like it's looks if they have gotten the bugs out of IT, they will be crawling through out MY eyesockets and into my nose....and I'm 32 and hope to live a long time!
