I'm sorry (and I'm putting on flame retardant underoo's for saying this), but I just can't get worked up about the C7. Even a convertible.

Just looks too much like a Camaro (including the large posterior). The car just looks 'portly'...

Edit: I'd probably think differently if I saw one in person.

I just hate convertibles... especially since we have targas. Having a fast sports car and the compromising structural integrity... lame.

the interior is very nice but the exterior.. just keeps getting rounder and rounder and losing its original style. not that the exterior style is bad..its just that ever since the C5 the car has gotten fatter and has lost some character..

At first the taillights didn't bother me but the more pics I see of them the more I am disliking them.

Love the C7. I also love watching all of the C6 owners cringe as their cars become yesterday's news.

Yes, they are BUTT-HURT to see their 2005-2013 Vettes already looking dated.

Yeah, the higher resale value and the feel of the sun and the wind really sucks.
