Fugly rear end. imo there are design flaws there that really ruin the look of the back of the car. A few line changes here and color changes there...

oh wait just look at the ferrari rear end. what a B&$H slap in the face to all corvette designers. Hell look at the entire 458 Italia. The corvette is the post my dog lifts his leg to pee on.

A few friends of mine (who are not "car" people by any
stretch), looked at the C7 pics.

Their comments ? "Oh is that the new 2013 Camaro ?"

I bought a Camaro coupe in 2010 and traded it for a 2012 convertible.
Each time I drove my '01 Corvette, I didn't even want to get back in the Camaro. So, it went bye-bye last week with 1,200 miles on it.
Subconsciously, I may have been wanting to get some cash for the C7.
But, honestly, with those taillights, I really don't want to be reminded of the Camaros.

If GM hadn't put those taillights on the road for four years before putting them on the Corvette, people wouldn't be associating them so strongly with the Camaro. They were (and are) uniquely identifiable with the Camaro.

Here's something to think about...
Is it possible GM is considering eliminating the Camaro?
That could be one reason for so obviously stealing the taillight style.
