Default Is It Just Me

OK, I am not going to beat the tail light issue any longer and besides I see a lot of the Corvette Concept/Transformer Vette in the rear not just Camaro.

What I have seen is anyone talking about the side glass area behind the B-Pillar and the small amount of rear view area in the hatch. I can live with that, but I just cannot bring myself to accept the side glass issue. I look at that area and think of Mustang or other cars with back seats.

So does everyone out there like that area of the car?

Home run. What else are these people going to complain about? How's the cigarette lighter, do you have a problem with it?

I love everything about the car. The side windows, the rear end, the whole thing.
It's sinister and I want it right now.

What he's talking about is a staple of Corvette design for 30+ years, the B-pillar. The new car does take some getting used to. The Vette was quite unique with that B-pillar, but now it's time to copy other cars like the new Camaro and GT-R. The Vette has now become a distance cousin of the Camaro.

And just how many of those do you see running around. That as a custom for those that like that look. Now it is a main stay with Corvette. Will that stop be from buying most likely not, but it does not mean I like them.
