Non sequitur. This is not the real C7.

However, I did not like the C6 when it came out. I am on my 3rd C6 now and I did own a C5 when the C6 came out.

People are going to dislike the C7 for a long time if it looks like that.

I do believe this image is "close" to what the actual C7 will look like, but like others have said...it is not a "pic" of the C7. It is a computer generated rendering created by Trinity Animation, based on the Jalopnik images from last November.

no you will not. If you would have been around for a while and seen these pics a couple months ago when they first surfaced you would have heard from the animation company who created them. They are in no way affiliated with GM and said themselves this is a speculative rendering.

It is computer generated but looks pretty cool and is fun to look at! May not be far off, either!

I heard the new Corvette was going to be a 5.5L turbo diesel with quadruple overhead cams, is this true?





Welcome to like last year (and it's plethora of false/inaccurate 2014 Corvette information LOL).

Please people, read the forum a little bit first before posting this "latest cutting edge breaking news" LOL.

THANK YOU!

I appreciate the credit.

If people would simply read the plate and go to www.myc7.us they would find a huge gallery of images including this one, all in very high resolution.

I've always disliked the C5 because of it's Pontiac look. It happens and, clearly, it will continue to happen with the C7 because some people will always think it looks like a Camaro.

I have a feeling that the C7 will indeed look something like this. This design just keeps popping up. The wheel design seems to be dead on with the teaser video so I think this is what it will look like or either very close. I hope I'm wrong though. Damn that thing is butt ugly.
