Default c7 ?

Am I the only one who finds the 2012 C7 to be a bit over the top from a styling standpoint?

It's just a concept vehicle at this point. I'm sure they will tone it down for the production model.

If it has that stupid grin on it like I'm seeing in some of the photos, I'm not buying a C7. I'll stick with C5s and C3s until they come up with another good looking Corvette.

Can someone tell me about this styling he's talking about?



We know little to nothing about C7 styling at this point. The Transformers car is "NOT" the C7.

By the way, look at the Corvette concepts from the past. They've all been over the top.

Sooo true, I never saw the C6 coming, I was convinced they would stick with the flip lights!
