Not the biggest hater of this model. Not a big fan either. One thing I cant stand, the Audi LED strip in the headlights... really! That look is horrible

My C3 has NOTHING to worry about. The look is NOT good.

Yup... little Christmas lights to adorn your front. Just like the side vents on the video closeup - all looks like Autozone tack ons.

I have studied all the new Cadillacs and other GM concepts and I believe it will be more of a " light beam in a tube " which is quite attractive and not gimmicky . We may see something similar in the interior.

I hardly ever post anymore, but feel compelled.

Body style wise, this car is simply not an improvement over the existing wide bodys. If you parked a ZR1 next to this car, and asked people which looked more modern and elegant, I'm afraid this new car seen in the video would take a back seat. I hope it doesn't end up looking like this.

*sigh*

This new look or anything
close to it would be a real step forward in the right direction. The c5 and c6s were nice but that look is just beaten to death stale and done. A new aggressive, divergent, look will be great whether the satin jacket crowd likes it or not.

....BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP, BUT UGLY IS RIGHT TO THE BONE...

This thing better have a 1000hp, because looks alone won't sell it.

In my opinion it’s a giant milkshake. It has some Ferrari 599 in the overall body, Audi rope headlights, Camaro rear end. I pray this isn’t actually the C7. I’ll be keeping the C6 for sure and so will everyone else. Did Chevy have an original thought at all?

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.
Except I still dislike the base C6- too tall and narrow. The GS and the Z06 are what the C6 should have looked like from the beginning.

Me? I'll stick with my C5 at this rate.

I can agree with your statement. but this "new look" coming down the pipe missed it's mark. We've seen better looks from forum members with a cad program.

What is coming is NOT stunning....it's more....LAME

Yeah, but we haven't seen the real C7 design yet. All of this could be a smokescreen you know
