I sort of like the concept, but it sort of reminds me of a Saturn Sky on steroids. Loose some of the extreme rear end and it might be better for my taste. They would never try to put the exhaust through four ports as shown in the graphic. It just won't work.
My vote would go:
C2
C6
C5
C1
C3
Concept
C4
Are you going to tally the vote and put the results in the first posting sometime?

But I wouldn't complain about any of them. The rearend of that c7 is pretty... what's the word... aggressive for gm? I don't think its bad but they better not lose the signature taillights

3. C2
Others just OK, don't care...
Wasn’t sure about the C7 concept when I first saw it, but it’s grown on me. Like a lot of others mentioned I’m not so sure about the rear of the car. I like the hidden A pillar, I don’t like the homage 63 split rear window, it just seems a bit gimmicky. From the side and front the car looks all business, maybe they need to drop it off at Pratt & Miller and let them sort out what needs to stay and what needs to go. So I guess what I am saying is that it is a good starting point now let the go fast people have it and sharpen it up.

C4s are a victim of the time period they're from. Poor build quality and a lack of power and style were the norm then. Corvettes were still at the top of the heap, but the competition wasn't so great either. They're still a Corvette and they're still a great car, but they just don't catch the eye or thrill the driver like some of the other generations. I don't think many Ferrari owners go searching for 80's models to add to their collection either.

tpi models yes... but i find the lt1 versions stylish with rim upgrade and lowering of course. but that goes for most cars. and 300hp i honestly dont think is not enough power... i dunno i guess thats just me though. the interior is yea cheap and rattly but whatever they dont cost much either. but i guess everyone does have there own opinions.
just glad they still build vettes

EDIT:
I've added up everyone's rankings. It's less than scientific but the general ranking so far is:
1. C2
2. C6
3. C3
4. C1
5. C5
6. Stingray Concept
7. C4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally, I'm not a fan of this new concept that's going to be in the Transformers movie. I know some of you like it though. It made me wonder where most of you would rank it with all of the production corvette body styles that have been produced from strictly an exterior styling standpoint. This is going to be a long post, but here is how I'd rank them including a pic of my favorite year:
#1 Early chrome bumper C3
#2 C6 (yes, I'm biased)
#3 C2
#4 C5
#5 C1
#6 C4
.

Last place, and lagging wwaaayyyy behind: Stingray Concept
I hope I didn't offend anyone. I think every Corvette is beautiful... well most of them anyway
