I like to see it in person too! Cars appear much different then the photos and videos shot! I am hopeful that C7 is a gorgeous super car as report by those who have seem it in person!

huh?

Let me also add that what appears to be a beautiful "light tube " at the bottom of the headlight looks like individual bulbs close up. Yes , I am pissed.

If the production vehicles look like what you saw, is it something the aftermarket can easily "fix"----- and I am not suggesting that it is "OK" for it not to be right in the first place.

One guy says the front lights suck and now you are laying blame on GM for putting out something wrong that needs a fix? You know what, I think I will go with the other 19 people who said the headlights looked amazing in person.

Racer, are you drinking? Go to bed.

I am tired.

I wont buy it this year as its first issues....I will wait a year or two before I buy. I just sold my 09 Z so im not worried about spending the money.

Industry day preview is open to people that are part of the automotive industry.....you have to have a company name that is recognized by NAIS.

As my eyes fight to stay open, I leave you with this rcallen484,
Let us say you were into higher end restaurants, like myself,
If 20 people posted reviews of a new restaurant that opened and 19 of them said it was amazing and 1 said it was disappointing, are you going to go there?
Sleep well rcallen484, sleep well.

I am agitated by the people that are agitated! How is that for summing it up in a "round about way"?

My point was very simple and I wasn't saying his opinion wasn't valid. It really doesn't matter if the younger buyers GM is attempting to target with the C7 if they have no intention of actually buying one or are incapable of buying one.

I saw posted in another thread that the average US buyer of new cars is around 55 and of new vettes around 58. If the younger buyer has a Camaro budget but likes and wants a Corvette but cannot buy it what good does attracting a younger demographic really help Corvette sales in the near future? The whole idea of the Camaro was to fill the void at GM to compete with the Mustang that was being bought by younger buyers and young people with families with a tighter car buying budget.

If the C7 does not sell in much larger numbers than the C6 did the C7 could be the last vette generation. I'm a huge vette fan and have owned all 6 generations to date and that would be very sad for me as I have averaged buying another vette every two years since I was 17 years old, at this point for me personally I'm very disappointed with the more edgy look and hope the convert will be more attractive to me.

It's not evident from the photos, but the rear taillights are very 3-dimensional (unlike the Camaro lights). I can't wait to see the car in person. I don't really need a savings account, do I?

Pure speculation and lets not forget that the C6 doesn't even sell anything like the C6 did before. I know it is the economy and a long generation timeline but if the C7 doesn't sell like the C6 did at first, it isn't necessarily because people don't like it. You have the 'first year' problem where folks won't buy a first year car in addition to the 6 spd vs 8 spd automatic.

As far as I can tell the first year is going to see very small production numbers and I'm guessing they will sell like hotcakes.

I have had an order in for a C7 for 6 months. I gave up my 08 Z in a divorce settlement . I have told my children that we are getting a new Corvette . With that said I want to love this car but a few things do get under my skin.

Recallen mentioned the aftermarket for the headlights. I think this is a great question on one hand and ridiculous for GM. Cadillac 's latest models have very attractive, understated " light tube " style head lights and GM goes first generation Audi with the C7. When I say first generation it is because I think Audi is now on their 4th now. At the show I fell in love with headlights from BMW, Audi, and MB. Trust me, they are glorious .

As for the 6 speed...I am pretty sure the 6 speed auto could suffice but this is not what I want on a 70,000 car. 70,000 is exactly what I believe I MSRP will be on "my" car.

Again, fit and finish were first rate and of course, my opinions on style or details are purely subjective.

Seems like you either love it in person or you gripe about other areas when you see it in person. I think the headlights look cool on the pictures but the rear looks like crap. Hopefully it will be at the Philly auto show this Sat so I can see it in person. I will deffinatly get a good look at the front now to see what everyone is complaining about in person. Hopefully the rear will impress me in person. I hate being negative towards my favorite car in the world.

There was one shown on Fox & Friends this morning.

The Red ones do look a bit broken up by the black vents, while on the Dark Grey one the vents seem to blend into the whole look.

To someone who has seen it. Are the vents on the grey one black or body color?
