Fat, flat, inelegant. GM continues to insist that the beltline finishes in an upward trajectory at the end of the car rather than taper down into the tail like it did on the Sting Ray and previous Stingray. This makes the back very massive, visually. A problem they compound with the huge flat surfaces behind the rear wheels as well as the board flat back end.

I think these pictures show how tall and narrow the car appears from the back, to the detriment of its sporting aspirations. Compare to a C4 to really drive it home. The tail lights, diffusers, and various disjointed lights and reflectors back there only make it worse.

I love what the Vette represents and I think its performance deserves a much better body to go with it.

I think most comments regarding disappointment on the C7 are from guys that really love Corvettes and really want to like the C7, they just don't like certain elements of the car.

The only similarity I see is that the rear deck sags a little between the quarters and the tail lights are comprised of four elements (not uncommon). The camaro tail lights are half-rounds with squareish chrome bezels that make it look like a "warning it might be hot" icon on the side o a cup-o-soup.
