Now that I like! I hope allot of these get sold so GM knows what not to do next time . Camaro lights on the C7... what a dumb idea.

At first I did not like the rear view of the C7. Now that I have seen more pics and videos of the new car, I have tempered my criticism of the design. At least for me, having Camaro styled rear lights is not going to be a reason I would have for refusing to eventually buy a C7.

I like it the way the designers did the rear on the C7, It was time for a change and I like it.

this is exactly what I thought.

I think that the C7 as is is OK. Hell I absolutely hated the C5 when it first came out and swore I would not buy it over my C4. Things grow on you after a while.

If "there" means the C7 Forum its already there a bunch of times.

Why would anyone do this to a C7 doesn't everyone remember when people at first didn't like the split window Corvette so they put in the one window? How did that work out?
