Is the butt not big enough for you??

I'm betting GM is thrilled that you will be buying a used C7 several years down the line, as it really helps their bottom line tomorrow.

JT, you should be looking for that link...
Probably half of the people on this forum won't be buying one new so I fit right in. BTW, they aren't selling them tomorrow. It's really pretty creepy that you follow me around posting little messages to me. Are you gay?

Just watched the Jay Leno garage video. I thought the C7 in natural lighting, finally, is the "cats meow"

I do, but if I could have any Corvette I wanted including the C7 at this moment, I would take a 60th anniversary 427 convertible. Hands down IMO the best looking Corvette made to date.

Please, please give it a rest people. Ths is a forum for enthusiasts and owners (or potential ones)not for people who can't stand the car. The number of "I don't like the car and I want everyone to know it because I know how much you all value my opinion" threads gets tiresome after the first hundred or so.

I have a C6, and a C1 and a C2. What does that have to do with anything other then I buy Corvettes, including new ones. Me owning a C6 probably means I'm more likely to purchase a new Corvette then someone driving a RAV4. But if you believe that owning a C6 is the reason I won't be buying a new C7, you couldn't be more wrong. I don't buy cars that I don't like the looks of. Pure and simple, even for you to understand.

Tell me, how many Corvettes do you own? Do you believe that Corvettes are only intended for those that don't own one; that there are no such animals as repeat customers for the Corvette? There will be those who own C6's buying C7's and there will those that don't own C6's buying C7's. Other then trying to throw dispersion's on those that own C6's what else do you have to offer?

I hate to say it but I need to see it first before I say I don't like it. I have never said that about any other model that came out. i hope when I see it I will want one.

"Different" is a good word to describe the new C7.....and while I am not a huge fan of the new look, like many others, I would like to reserve my final opinion and judgement (good, bad, or indifferent) until I see one in person.

However, I do like the C7 rear fascia renderings that others have posted. Especially the cyber gray rear fascia with dual centered exhaust and blacked out tail-lights.

A few areas I dislike, but again....I thought the same of the C6 when it was first released. Took me all of 6 years to appreciate the C6 lines and a total of 9 years before I bought one. Time will tell how the new C7 will affect my opinion, but as of right now, this minute, as I type this response.....The C6Z is staying. At least I like the rear of the C6Z!!

I own my second C6 and believe that it's styling is classic. I like the C7 and believe it is a refreshing step forward on the Corvette's evolutionary path. I believe it is absolutely deserving of the Stingray name and REALLY look forward to seeing some regular production cars on the road and at dealerships

This is a classic
"haters gonna hate" as I am sure this seasoned member has seen the thousands of these threads already and just wants to "keep the hate going".

Do you have such a short memory that you can't even remember what you posted in the past?

I'm not gay, so you will have to find another playmate.

I don't like it at all. Too radical of a change all at once.

The side looks like a Nissan GTR, the back a wrecked Camaro. The Corvette has lost its identity.

I have a C6 I bought new and will be keeping it.
