I totally agree....besides you can still mod your C6, spend less money, and in the end have a car that will out-perform a newer version depending on how much you mod obiviously. I'm liking my C6 more and more these days.

When I had my 04 zo6... I didn't like the c6 when it came out. I still like the looks of the c5 better. But the c6 has grown on me. I think the c7 will grow on c6 owners just the same. I'm in a 11 camaro ss now... I'm looking forward to the c7 whatever it is. I'm hoping for c6 zo6 performance in a base model c7.

ONCE AGAIN, we don't know what the C7 will look like.

BTW, I REALLY disliked some Corvette generations (C4/C5) and wouldn't have one if you gave it to me. I also embrace the (to some) Ferrari-like C6. Yet somehow Corvette has survived.

Because they know what " is supposedly coming down the pipe" isn't what is coming. That it will be better looking and more exciting in person.

They know it is not someone's 3D interpretation of someone else's recollection and interpretation of a car they got see for a short time.


A lot of angst over the speculation of a look of a car that has not been reveal.

This is a thread of angst!!

This is the seventh thread posting the same source video, posted when six other threads were on the first page of C7 General Discussion.

So much angst. If people can't pay enough attention to avoid such duplication, how can their opinion of what they see in C7 renderings be trusted?

As with all of the others - I personally hope that animation is completely wrong.

It's the horrible illegitimate offspring of a 1990's camaro, audi, and then a late-model camaro with a lower stance.

Sounds like everybody hates the car pictured here. Good. I should have no problem getting one when they hit the market. That car is badass for sure. They got the front end right this time. I loved my '08 but couldn't deal with the cartoon face look of the C6 front end.

CarBoy

True the car may not look exactly like this when the real thing hits the streets. However if we are to believe what we've been given so far, then it should look something like this. The majority do not like the J renderings, and this car is based off those.....we the majority do not like this look either.

So are you saying that when we finally see the real thing that most of the nay sayers are all of a sudden going to change our minds?

So far all the info we have on the looks of this car say it will be based on the J pics....well no matter how you slice it or tweak it, it still comes out looking like something that is not what the majority would prefer. And it's not just on this forum either. I just saw the video posted on another "video" site and not a single person had a positive comment about the cars looks.

Perhaps GM really screwed up with how exotic looking the movie car was...(and like it or not, many people were WOW'd by that car) and so this is too "plain" looking in comparison.

If this is it..it could be a Big mistake.

but in spite of it ....it will sell..!

That C7 has some great lines, very fresh redesign. Time to get away from that smooth like a turd look that has been the standard since '97. A lot of guys on here sound like grouchy old coots that can't deal with change anymore.

To me it looks like the design is an amalgam of several other cars. The fast back for example reminds me of the 1970 mustang. Nothing original that I can see.

Nitrous Oxide

Now, when I look at my C6, I find it a little bulbous. Not that I mind. But too me, it kinda looks like a nice thing of the past already. Time to move on to 2014.

punky

Very good way to put it. The C7 picture that is making its way around the internet is a badly needed step in the right direction. The current car is nice but just plainly dated and stale. Cadillac moved its styling from the smoothed off, conservative, old man mobile to the current sharp lined, "edge" design and it has been a smashing success drawing scores of younger buyers into
Cadillac showrooms. GM desparately needs to gain attention to the Corvette from the 30-50 yr old crowd. The baby boomers who were in awe of the Corvette as children and the predominance of
corvette owners are just not enough alone to keep this model viable much longer.

FLZapped

I don't understand why they had to make the front and back look like a Camaro.....that's hideous!

John T

I agree and I will be thrilled if the new design looks a little tighter around the mechanicals.

roundlight lover

No offense, but, I can't understand a "Vette fan" not liking C4 & C5 's.
But worse still, condoning the production of a nightmarish sort of Tim Burton Vette is a jaw dropper. Sorry.

roundlight lover

Moreover, why the front looks like it's ready to spew something out, and the back looking like it's constipated.....

ZeeOSix

I don't think the front and sides look bad ... but the rear end and tail lights just doesn't fit with the rest of the car IMO. The 4 exhaust tips do look good though.

GM should have kept the 4 round tail lights and designed them to fit the rest of the design.

rcallen484

I am going to go jack up the rear of my car, turn on the motor, put it in gear, get out and let it run on idle the rest of the day. Makes as much sense and just as satisfying as most of the C7 threads have become.
