For all the winers fork up the extra 3k and you can love it more then your C6....I think after a few years seeing the new rear end, it will grow on you. I wasn't a fan of a lot of cars until I saw them driving on the streets everyday.

I dont think they'll sell many of those.

out driving at night, i have been noticing the styling of some other gm products, and see what they are going for. while we may not like the rear styling of the c7, and we are certainly entitled to our opinions, I think they are trying for brand recognition. the less expensive models take cues from the c7. by hyping the new vette, they create buzz. this helps sell more vettes to non vette folks (hopefully), and secures more audience for the lower tiered cars. at least thats how i see it.

If you don't like the C7, why would you think you'll like the C8 any better
Is the C8 going to look like a C6 again
Just sayin'

I think most don't necessarily think the C7 should have round or oval tail lights, but the big complaint is that it looks like a Camaro (and an angry one at that). Anything else would have probably been all right. But why make it look almost exactly like the much cheaper sporty car from the same manufacturer, instead of maintaining a Corvette identity?

After seeing the round tail light kit on the C7, I like the stock C7 lights. To me, the angular look matches better with the rest of the car.
Also I like the C7's better highway MPG with cylinder deactivation, and the updated interior electronics. Maybe I'll get one in about 5 years if I ever get bored with my '13 GS.

I give the hideous tail one/two years tops...Really leaning towards one year lol...
It's as if the tried to make it as ugly as possible. I agree with firing the guy that said the azz is a go for production.
I mean somewhere I saw an amateur rendering of the same rear with different tails and it looked like sex.
