Default C6 looks like a dinasour already to me.

Can't wait to see a c7 in the wild.
Looks very exotic in the pics to me.

I think the c7 hate is nothing but jealousy by c6 owners.

Ummm...

That's a bit harsh, isn't it?

I mean, if I had a C6, I might be envious but any true Corvette lover--IMO--would not stoop to HATE simply because s/he didn't have the most current design.

The C6 is a fantastic-looking design. Interior a bit dated but anyone who sees that drive by is going to look.

Yes, I hate, hate, hate the C7. I am soooooo jealous.

What kind of nonsense is this? Why even bother to post stuff like this on a Corvette enthusiast's forum?

Or, it could be driven by posts like yours. BTW "dinasour" is spelled dinosaur. Maybe that will be on next weeks spelling test.

No. I have a C6 that I love and I view the C7 like I view a lot of fantastic cars I DON'T have. I will aspire to get one someday but I still love that it is the next-gen Corvette.

Because I've never seen more hate on any car board.

Corvette is a muscle car....never considered an exotic. Nothing about the C7 screams Corvette

That's normal for this place. Plumbers hate everybody.

This coming from a BMW driver. I love how everyone knows how others feel and why they do or do not care for the C7.

If you like the D7 great, if you don't that is fine also. I don't think there is any jealousy in it at all. Why do some have to call others names or put them down because that don't follow what others are doing.

Sorry, but I don't believe the Corvette has ever been referred to as a muscle car. It is a sports car. Always has been and always will be.

I think it's more like intolerance of any non-compliant opinion. Deliberately provocative threads, like this one, are started in the hope of bringing out criticism of the C7 so that those posters can then be attacked and labelled as "haters" ... a term that drives me nuts in its banality.

People who don't agree with your opinion of a CAR, are not "haters". Racists, anti-semites, and bigots are "haters," not people who disagree with you on the merits of a car's style or features.

Threads like this should be closed by the moderators as soon as they are started, since they contribute nothing and merely serve to start arguments among the diverse group of Corvette owners that we have here.

So you hate bmw's too. I'm not surprised really. I expected that on this board.
