Thank God we don't have front plates.
NJ has them, but I never put them on except for my trucks and my wife's cars. I'll take my chances with tickets (got 5 in 20 years) and court appearances (far hills made me go in and lie to them and say I was gonna put them on, I haven't been in far hills since )

All I know is the C6 will feel ancient and look ancient after the C7 is released. That front end is SEX on wheels and if the interior is as good as GM said it will be watch out!!

Built in tow hooks for us track guys. I really like the looks of the front end, badass. I will have one. When the C6 first came out it did nothing for me, but this car does. As one poster put it, imagine this thing coming at you in the rear view, at any speed it looks badass. Congrats GM, the C2's, C3's, C5's, and now the C7's contine to be the best looking American made production cars of thier time.

Yup, that's all it is. Over a years worth...pretty good effort on GM's part.

I might be one of the only ones to say this, but I am not sure I am a fan as of right now. I never like new cars right when they come out. It takes awhile for me to warm up to them. Just when i was starting to like the C6.

I hope that the real deal looks as good as the leak does. You never know it maybe a Yugo clone or something like that!!!

I LIKE it! Have been a Vette fan forever, and as others have posted, I like and appreciate EVERY generation and incarnation. I believe all of us will come to appreciate that the C7 will have a bit of everyone of our cars within it. To me, the renderings look awesome, combining new technology along with some familiar styling cues. Bring it on!!!

Same for me. All of these renditions of the rear look off compared to the official promo pics which IMO make the rear look so much better, even with the Camaro-ish rectangular rear lights. However, I think the LED technology is going to make the rear end look fantastic in person.

The C6 was not enough of a design move forward for me to give up my C5, however from what I've seen so far, I'm getting that "gotta have it" feeling again over the C7. I just want to "add to" vs. "trade in". I would love a high HP C7 Z06 to in addition to my C5 vert. Best of both worlds!

Works for me but I'm keeping Z.
I also said that prior to the C6 Z hitting the streets and ended up with 2 corvettes in the garage.
Can't wait until Sunday eve to see the whole car one line.

Naturally all us vettes screwballs get riled up wondering what the new vette is going to look like. Those 2 pictures( from the R/T & the rear from Automoblie) look really good to me. What really counts is how the overall "Look" is. We'll all know tomorrow after the "Reveal". The renders are nice, but none of them have the total right "Look". My guess is, the little tweaks GM has made, will really makes the C7 a gotta have ride( I hope).

I like the look, but this definitely looks like a drawing. Besides the logo being wrong, look at the carbon fiber? stripes on the hood. The one on the driver side is 40% wider than the one on the passenger side.
