Default Chrysler Crossfire and the C7

The C7 rear end is a combination of the Chrysler Crossfire and Chevy Camaro...........I still can't believe GM did this to us.

Though no one talks about it...........I hate the looks of the C7 emblem. When I come up with something I like about the C7, I will post it (don't want to be ridiculed for not being positive).

Yes, from everything we know, the C7 rear end is going to be absolutely horrible.

don't want to be ridiculed for not being positive.... you do realize where you are right? You'd get less ridicule if you asked to be ridiculed.

Its not so much the wild looking rear end I hate. It's the you know whats borrowed from the you know who that I hate. A shape from Corvettes past would have been so much better.

I can almost guarantee that none of those shapes was going to work aerodynamically for this car.

The Crossfire and the Camaro????

Now I've read it all. I look forward to the OP finding something he likes about the C7.

Since the forum stopped all the TV spam from a few weeks ago, maybe this opens the door for an overseas purveyor of Zoloft, Prozac, etc to help all the clinically depressed folks on CF.

It's a stretch, but sure, I can see parallels. Funny how the brain works, isn't it?

They both have a tapered off rear window.

The Crossfire resemblance is a stretch. If I squint my eyes I might just see a little Crossfir in the C6 rear.

Of the people who have stated they have actually seen the car, I know of not one that says they hate the tail lights. So, .... I think there is promise there. Now, .. as for that Emblem!!! ... That is one piece of SH*t!!!! It looks nothing like a Vette emblem, and I think I was first to note that it looks like the Trans Am screaming bird decal! It's just awful as a Vette emblem! I know some have posted a comparison and shown the differences .... but it still looks like a big *** bird, ... and the Corvette is NOT a bird!

The new vette logo reminds me more of the Air Force logo with it's very pointed and angular design.

Stew, your nuts. Doesn't look anything like a vette emblem?!? It looks identical to a c6 emblem, with some of the colors switched, and angled an extra 20*.

Which loosely, was the c5 emblem, tilted upwards X*

Please someone post it, the c6, and screaming chicken. I did before, and they arn't that close.

I'm actually excited that the emblem resembles the firebird. Have always been a big fan of the T/A, and any resemblance is a good thing OMO
