Lots of folks on the C7 forum are carrying on saying my skinny C6 is dated.

Looks great to me! Unless you like the Camaro type tail lights.

The C6 is a classy looking Corvette and will be for many years and models to come.

Simba, that dark place over there is the C7 forum...you must never go there...

I don't think my skinny JSB C6 looks dated either.

I honestly am trying my best to warm up to the C7 and just when I think I'm making progress someone posts a picture of one out in the public and I don't care for it..... I still like the C6 better

My next Vette will be another C6 not a C7.

IMO, the C6 design will be timeless like the C2s & early C3s. Everything Chevrolet was trying to do
with the C4s & C5s came together with the C6.

The C7 is an aggressive re-design of the Corvette, and was needed for many business reasons.
I don't necessarily like/understand every last detail that I've seen/read about it thus far, but I do
generally like it and I'm certainly not dismissing it. It will sell, and it will get better...

I like the look of the C7 and believe it was time for a change. I do, however, believe we currently own true classic beauties and laugh every time I hear someone call them "skinny".

What's dated is the people who are saying the c6 looks old in order to make the c7 look better then it does...I'll take my c6 over the c7 all day every day.No matter what I do,or how much I try and like that car,it ain't happening.Over done,to big and that roof line is just plain ugly.

It will sell because it's new and there's always somebody who needs to have the latest greatest thing.When the dust settles I seriously doubt it will ever come close to C6 sales in it's best years.I don't hate the c7 because it is a Corvette,but it is one ugly car and that's a shame..
