Default Yet another interpretation of the C7 rear end...

FWIW...this is an older image that I had seen quite a while ago before the jalopnik images surfaced. This, to me is a more acceptable rendering that still closely matches the Omega Tool video.

The Omega leak is much closer to Jalopnik than this pic. This one actually looks more like someone toned down the Stingray Concept Car into something that appears more production ready.

Ditto.
And still so wrong in so many ways. A reminder of how unuseable the sideswipe concept rear was.

It seems for certain that the rear will have some sort of openings for either a real or fake aerodynamic design detail. That look is not only functional but also very much in vogue at this time.

It's not pretty, but at least it's not shapeless.

Seems to be the midpoint of a morph between Jalopnik and Stingray.

I was mostly talking about the rear end. Looks a lot like the Omega Tool video rear...but with somewhat better tail lights.

Umm, didn't you actually buy a C6 at some point?
The car in that photo looks an AWFUL LOT like a C6 (except for the rear end of course).

I would really like to see the " digital animation " edited with the proper Omega Tool rear panel ( convex ) rather than flat panel on the video.

Blue Ox,

Lots of C7 hatred around here at this time. Remembering how much hatred there was over the C6 not having hidden headlights, yet 2007 sales were over 40,000 units before the economic collapse.

We shall see how quickly folks, no matter how genuinely hate the renderings now, change their purchasing decision within the first few years after the real C7 surfaces.

That's up for interpretation, they appear to be two half circles connected to me.
Lol! Hey look it's the rear end of a GTR and other numerous cars .I'm looking forward to the c7s not so round lights, personally.

Eventually, people will forget which of the Camaro or Corvette came first. They might even say that the Camaro has Corvette taillights.
