"More Corvette"...what a dumb comment. If GM puts it out, it is as Corvette as it gets or has ever gotten.

I've mentioned this in another thread but thought I would mention it here since this is a more approapriate thread to do so.

I question this rear and nose combination:





Seems to me, given the horizonal nature of the tail lights and the vent coming off of them, that the front of the car would have flowed much better with the rear if it had incorporated a horizonal headlight treatment with vents coming off the sides...something similiar to this:



Not to mention, horizontal headlights would have given the nose a more slated and wider look. As is, I am not sure the front and rear make much sense together. Hopefully, in person, it will all mesh well.

Suggest you go back and look at the comments from that time. OP even admits he didn't like it.
Opinion has softened about it over time but when it came out very few were interested in that being the next Corvette.

C&D said that there will be stingray corvette and that will have smaller turbo V8 and possibly MR layout. Maybe that will not be called corvette but anyways.

Man, the outline of the tailight and associated vent look kind of familiar. The 4 huge tailpipes in one line. Hmmm...



That low nose with the big single opening almost vertical headlights.



Rarely does a production car look like a concept but some cues will carry over. The C7 will look like a Corvette just like the past 6 generations have.
