There is alot of negativity on here towards this car, and a lot of threads about the negative parts of the car. All the polls that people post there seems to be more people who have issues with the car then more people who absolutly love the car. Those are facts. Why is that do you think? Because we are all tool bags or what not? I have never called anyone on here a bad name or make fun of them because they post there opinion but yet when something negative is posted about the new Corvette we always get kicked in the face for it. Why? You could just say I dont think the car looks anything like a Ferrari or I dont think the rear resembles a Camaro at all. Instead you bash us for not liking a work of art! The C7 is a work of art and people will see what they see in it. That to is also a fact.

That means the C7 styling is current and relevant to those raised on computer games with limited graphic capability whose limitations determined how oblects were represented. That may or may not appeal to those who currently have sufficient wealth buy a Corvette. That also means that within three years the C7 will look dated to that audiance as those people expect a major upgrade in looks as that's what computer games do - make a major upgrade in looks every three years. That upgrade usually takes the form of making the objects look more realistic.
If I'm right, the C7 should have an initial appeal to an audiance that is going to want an upgrade in three years to a more realistic style - whatever more realistic means.
IMO there is nothing lasting about the C7 Ricer styling, nothing that deserves the label Stingray, nothing that people will look back upon as having set a new styling trend. Although the C7 styling may well have set a new expectation of three year production runs from the styling pint of view.

Worst case, I'd say a poll might show 45% strongly positive, 20% somewhat positive, 20% neutral and the rest against. I've seen many polls on here, and I've voted in all of them that applied to me. I don't see a single one where a majority, or even a close split, is negative. More like 75% good, with more coming on board as they see different angles of the car, and better pics. Some of the pics are AWESOME, and I am not a fan of all the lines on the hood. But they are not nearly as noticeable if you don't look at the car from the angles that GM took all the marketing pics. The car WILL look better in person. I'd bet money on that. And no, I'm not thrilled with 100% of it. But, the exterior is only one small part of it, and it's growing on me really fast when I get more info on what's under the skin.

Issues is negative feedback on the car. There is alot of it out there. A lot of people can overlook those issues and see the overall car as a whole but to a good portion of people ( like myself)I cant buy a car that I am not completly satisfied with.

I bought my 02 WS6 because it looks great from all angles, is fast , and to me is comfortable. I bought my C5 for the same reasons. The C7 will perform great, is probably comfy but to me doesnt look that good from behind. My wife hates the new Vette. I dont hate it I just think they could have done better with the rear. In order for me to buy a car that is 60k I need to love it and so does my wife.

Who knows maybe I will love it when I see it in person but maybe those who love it from pictures will not love it when they see it in person?

It's like, people on here have no concept of history and think their negative opinions are what everyone else shares, and that's all that matters. Even though they end up being the vocal minority. Every. Single. Time.

Please at least wait until you see these cars on the road in person before crying about how you hate something about it...

When I 1st saw the pictures of the C6 I didnt like the front but after an hour or so I grew to like it based off of the pics. When the C5 came out I loved it right away. Those are the only 2 generations I was alive or old enough to see reveal. This C7 was revealed sunday and now its Thurs and I still dont like it enough to want to own one. I hope it will change when I see it in person...

Another poll I just looked at had 1010 votes and 425 votes said they loved the car and the rest said there were some issues with it or hated it. 425 Positive votes and the rest had some negativity towards it.

Like I said before there is a lot of negativity towards this car. The Majority dont love it completely from the pictures or videos of it. I am part of that Majority and really wish I was part of the minority!

45% is not a majority. Majority was either neutral or negative.

Let the C7 stand or fall on it's own four wheels. No need to be a political spinmeister.

I'm neutral, but your propaganda prompted me to comment. I'm not anti-C7, I'm anti spin.

What ever you think about the C7, the majority of those curves and vents are there for ACTUAL race car like performance, not just cosmetics.

Also if you read those threads of people who have seen it in person they still have some Negativity towards the car and dont completly love it. I have seen a bunch of them say the rear looks better in person but the front headlights look like crap! I wasnt excpecting that. From the pics the front looks good to me and the back is my issue.
