Default 2014 Corvette

Why would you make the back end of the 2014 Vette look like a Camaro. Vette should always have a look of its own.

The vette should always have the most state of the art rearend features. So it can be shown to all the rice rockets.

No offense using a camaro look on a vet is not showing state of the art. It is telling us they ran of idea's. I just wish they would have made it look much different then your average camaro. Don't get me wrong I love camaro's as well. I just felt they could have done better. Thank God I am into the 98 through 2002 vette's.

I was agreeing with you as it should be the most state of the art. Not a copy of some other model.

Sorry misunderstood your message my fault. I'm just disappointed about that rear end. LOL Again I apologize.

I am out of Germany and making my way to Texas Month March of this year, New duty station. I am looking forward to my purchase of my Corvette. Do you have any advice of where is a good place to purchase? I am looking between a 1998 to 2002.

This forum has become a good source of laughter . Something we all need. Don't take it so serious because all of this will be a distant memory a year from now just like every other model change...

That look is so very dated already. I had a 2002 Z06, so not speaking as a hater, but the C5 appearance is very plain.

WOW ban these people. I just became a member of this forum. And already some sillyness. LOL I am also a member of Tacoma forum and never had seen anything like this. You would think as Corvette forum you will have more maturity, to represent the the car itself.

The old render looked like a Camaro--back then it was a valid complaint.



The production version looks nothing like a Camaro.

I wish they did something alot more different then what they did. The car still looks awesome and I probably will never afford it. I am just a hard core corvette fan for so many years. Nice pics.
