Believe it or not, I like all years of Corvettes. I think the styling of each model has beauty. I know some of the members here are upset with the C7 and some of its styling cues. I don't get too hung up on things like tail lights or sharp edges etc. If the design works, so be it. Yes both are sexy...

I hated it at first now I tolerate it mostly. Sexy No I don't think so its to much of an industrial design look to be called sexy.

I don't think I would call the C7 rear sexy but I think it is really good looking. And it really helps to distinguish it from the earlier Corvettes.

I didn't like it at first but now I really do like it. Take a look at other backbends (no pun intended) and then u really appreciate the cutting edge look. Round lights now look very old fashion and retro but not bad by any means.

Love the lights, don't love the lower edges as they just come off too flat. One thing about the car is it looks much better in person than in pictures.

Count me among those who were underwhelmed with the C7's styling (especially the back end) when the car was revealed on 1-13-13. It's interesting how things change. I now find the rear view to be one of the best; totally love it.
