The C7 has been out and about , and as the C6 mules, this looks like the car gm is releasing, we know it's a reskin, but to me looks to much like the caddy(which happens to be made in the same plant)
Wrong.

We who? C7 will have a fresh look; it'll weigh less and go faster and have a better interior than the car it replaces. Everything else is gravy.

I'm sure everyone will find some nit to pick, and of course you can't please everyone, but a whole lot of folks will find any disappointment overwhelmed by the overall badassery of The Next Corvette.

And, how does a Corvette owner diss the GT-R for being a Nissan? It's not like Corvette comes with a Cadillac logo.

I hate to disagree....but I can't help but disagree on this. I am not a "rice" hater...BUT the GTR looks like a $30-40k car. The styling on the 370Z is much sharper and sleeker...that is one car Nissan really nailed on the styling.

Give me the GTR drivetrain in a 370Z body, and I'd go for that!

looks even worse than the renderrings. Put a Nissan badge on it already.
When the OP says Ahh soo, Stalag 17 comes to mind when William Holden says: "Ach zo"... Sounds like ahh sooo??? Anyone? Movie buff?

I don't think the grill looks that bad or the cowl-ish hood. But please, PLEASE, get rid of that stupid looking butterfly vent on the top.
