Wow... That's ugly. I will be skipping the C7 if that's it.
I honestly do not believe that's the design they're going with, though.
A) Not very aerodynamic.
B) Blind spots galore.
C) Wonky side paneling, with the added bonus of a door handle near your knees.
D) It's ugly. Look's like it's got constipation.

That is absolutely the most fugliest car I have ever seen in my life. My days of buying vettes will be over! I'll keep my two C5's....get a C6 and look for my '66 again. 
H*ll, I'd buy a miata before I'd buy that car. 
At first look the low profile and the slant reminds me of a Magnum! YUCK! Don't like the front either (albeit from a side view only).... I wouldn't buy anything that closely resembles this--poor excuse for a car....let alone a vette.
Then again, if the C7 even remotely resembles this....C5s and the C6s will probably double in price instantaneously!

That is straight-up hideous.
If you want to know where GM is going to go with the C7, look at the Ferrari 458 Italia. GM has said that the C7 will be even more svelte than the C6, with less overhang in front and back.
The days of long hoods and hideous "beaks" at the front of Corvettes are OVER.

It doesn't remind me of that at all. And I have to say it was a difficult decision buying the Vette over the 370z. I really liked both cars and the 370z was VERY comfortable to drive. It has a lot of blind spots, but it doesn't fall short anywhere else as far as a good daily driver.

From certain angles, the 370Z looks great, but from other it looks a bit strange. I drove one and the interior is very nice but I did miss the V8 power. Nice car.
