It's a VETTE!!!!!
Hi All,
The thing to remember is that no matter what the new C7 ends up looking like, it will still be a Corvette. Even if you don't like it other people will. It will still sell and it will still be one of the best cars on the road.
(IMO)

I understand what you're saying here, but I don't completely agree. I mean, to me, the Corvette doesn't feel like a brown box compared to a ferrari at all. Maybe todays Vettes, but looking back at the C3 chrome bumper model, I think it is one of the most beautiful designs in automobile history. I think it looks as beautiful as, let's say, a Ferrari GTO or anything else high class. And to create such a beautiful car in a payable way, that is the power of Corvette.
I still love todays Vette, I think the C5 and C6 are very cool cars, but that is because I'm a Vette addict. The C3 model on the other hand is something that stands way above everything else, it looks special, even to this day. I don't know how I should explain this.
This is what is missing today. A C6 is a cool car, but nothing special. That is why I think GM should really try and redesign their supercar, yet stay true to the history. I think this concept looks fresh, and really stands out to anything I have seen lately. I think it looks really exciting ...
Just my 2 cents
I agree 100%.

I think for a normal car, it looks awesome, but better than the C6? No.
In my opinion, each Corvette has been a huge improvement in appearance over the previous one, so I can only hope that this isn't the C7. I like the concept art someone posted in this thread more than the transformers car, but I can't stand the way the tail lights have the chrome around them.
I would take a C4, C5, or C6 vette over any other car, no matter what it is, because I love them so much. This car doesn't really look like a corvette to me. It just looks like any other cool exotic that isn't a vette.
Am I being a fanboy? Of course, but at least I'm in the right place.

The first concept pic looks like bruce wayne took a job at gm, not saying I don't like it. The second pic looks amazing and more like something that might come out, but I don't know about deleteing the back window, as well as it looks a little too much like a lotus elise. The third pic of the mid engine would be a few steps in the right direction especially if they went to dual overhead cams or rotery but gm will mostlikely never do that.

No you are not. I also think it looks sweet! I remember when everyone took a look at the first c6...there were more than enough negative opinions being versed. Same will happen, if it is correct, you will all grow to love it. lol.
