because to one will believe that any major manufacturer design team would slap such a hideous rear end on a car like the Corvette.

Just sayin... get ready because it's a comin. Maybe you can just post an informational FAQ placard on the car. Better yet, cover the rear end with it. Maybe GM will offer a permanent camo panel option to hide their clusterf*ck.
Agreed. Just showed some of the renders of the rear to my g/f-her words-"looks like a cross between a camaro and a Nissan"

If I'm going to fork over good $ for the flagship, it's not going to be compared to the poor-man's version.

GM assumes if you want to buy a Corvette you'll have to get used to it, that's all. They also assume they'll gain more buyers than they'll lose. I find it a bit presumptuous of people to say they're wrong.

Corvette is already the poor-man's version of a supercar.

And it's been compared to the Camaro pretty much continuously since 1967. Especially among those who like going fast in a straight line.

I can't believe the C7 is going to have Camaro Taillights!!! Stupid Camaro Taillights!! They just ruined the C7 by copying the Camaro and putting Camaro Taillights on it!! OK, I promise I will never say Camaro Taillights again after I say Camaro Taillights one last time!! Did I mention that the C7 has Camaro Taillights on it??

"Betting is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice".

But, since it was brought up, I wonder if he will honor his bet with Keeks?

First guy you say that to, "Hey are you a d-bag?"

Seriously, you wouldn't insult a guy's new ride to his face, would you?

He wouldn't. Once he was face to face with someone like that, he'd keep his opinion to himself. Internet makes people tough.

And I'll make the pledge easily. I probably have only said those words 4 or 5 times over the past 12+ months on here.

I would never say it unless it was true...

But seriously.......surely GM wouldn't be that stupid? So it's not even going to go there.
