Nope.

Down with round taillights, they wouldn't fit the car at all.

I also think the round exhaust tips do not go with the C7

Again, I am very glad to see that GM went with such a radical and non-conservative design with their flagship car... yeah, the lights on that blue rendering look mean and all, but it was time for a new direction..

Other people have already said this, but I think it's worth repeating.. Remember all the bitching and moaning concerning the 6th Gen's exposed headlights?? What about its steering wheel??

BTW, I love the square tail lights on my ZR-1 as well... and yes, I will buy a 7th Gen Corvette..

:I remember when the C-5 first came out and alot of people did not like the big rear end. I believe that as time goes by the C-7 tail lights will not be an issue.

I agree.. The GM decision has been made...round lights are in the trash bin.....never, or at least in my life time, to be seen again.
