Default Just another hood: Problem Solved

Ok, this is just my opinion and well, we know how THAT goes....but, this is what I see in the hood via photos alone. The second photo sort of highlights the areas in question.....and that question would be:

Why? Why sooooo many damn lines??

Aerodynamics I bet. I can see how some people wouldn't like it, but I think in black this car is going to look like a f'n F-117.

Radar scattering lines perhaps?

If people were this critical of their spouses, they'd never be married.

because it looks edgy and awesome. Why not I say. This makes the C6 look ancient.

It lacks the smoothness of the C-6. Still actually looks good but will really have to see it and drive it in person.

It's "faceted" to play with the light.....like any gem.

The pissing and moaning over the C7 is unreal. They've made ~ 60 years worth of corvettes. If the new one does not meet your approval, DON'T BUY IT! Buy an old one and stop wasting your time trying to fix something that GM will never do - execute amateurish attempts to fix something on the C7 that is NOT broken. If they wanted Vanilla, they would have kept the C6 style. The C6 is a great car but it's time to move on.

Hey Bob, did you take your medication today? Perhaps you missed the last 3 icons to my post with a smiley laugh?

I had a C4, currently have a C5, C6 Z and think the C7 looks fantastic in most areas. Don't lose sleep over comments on the forum. If you can't handle just criticism, perhaps you should step away from the computer for a moment or two.....Jeeees. Not come off as an ***.

Perhaps a moderator should lock this thread out of safety. Don't want any folks like Bob53 having a heart attack from reading simple opinion and commentary. God forbid anyone have something to say, good, bad, or indifferent.

Cheer up Bob.....It's not the end of the world.





In before my own safety-lock. Hahahah
