concealed headlights were timeless designs until of course C6 buyers thought differently with their wallets.

Have to say, that looks REALLY nice.

I like the C7 and have not had a big issue with the tail like some have, but this is better.

It makes it a good deal better but not the C7 I'd want. The sides and front are still full of meaningless creases and folds which have no thematic center.

For example the C6 is the shape of a pretty woman laying on her side. What is the C7? It looks like a melted lump of plastic which was laid in a rocky area and took a set.

I really thought this stuff was over with. we are starting the 4th year of the C7 and you still have to post this stuff that beat to death 4 years ago. We get it there are some out there that don't like the C7 rear.

Now that looks like a Corvette rear end........I would buy that if I ever got a C7.....which I probably won't......but as I have said before the design of the car is well liked because they are selling a ton of them.....

It looks decent. But the stock lights go far better with the rest of the car.

Once again, thank you for your insightful and colorful commentary. However, questions usually end in with a "?". I can only assume the response was a rhetorical statement and not a request for literary comment.

I sincerely hope you enjoy your C7 and differences of opinions keep life interesting. If I ever choose to purchase one, I like the look of the round taillights and am pleased to know there is an option available to suit my personal taste.
