The headlights are nice. Maybe just a bit more of a "V" shape to them would be even better.
Other than that, it has a bit much of the mid '60s Pontiac like styling going on at the corners. The front view looks like a C3 being swallowed whole by a '67 Catalina. And the back view looks more like a '66 model that, well, let's just say it does not look very appealing.

You can see all the design influences the new C7 is considering, so it's a mashup right now. So in it's present state -nope I don't like it. However with a little work could be most interesting.
Front and rear are unresolved .
So you can put it out there and get the feel for the overall composition and competing design elements.

It's a tad over the top for me, however things most likely will get toned down a bit for production (as history shows). I think it's got real promise, but I agree with an earlier post... function over form...

This thing makes me fall in love with my c6 all over again. The c6 is a beautifully understated car - almost perfect.
Why do some (far too many) designers appear to design just to design. The genius of great design is simplicity. As soon as your eyes start to hurt It's usually because the designer couldn't restrain himself.
Also, the Corvette should never be retro. It should be the leader, not a Camaro wannabe.
If you really like this design you probably belong in a viper or the Batmobile.

Front looks like Shark/CTS morph. *** end looks like integration of batmobile and Studebaker Avanti! Proportions poor. Long sweeping nose and mid body - and then the back got chopped by a Veg-O-Matic!!! Other than that I like it!
