Nice! The third pic of the front fender/hood area has a very Ferarri-esque feel to it. I still dislike the black rims.

Part of the problem is that we have spent 9 yrs getting familiarized with the C6 and all the variations thereof. We've seen lots of great wheel variety, spoilers, mods and fantastic photos in beautiful backgrounds.

It appears the more monochrome the back end the better it looks.
I get the warm and fuzzy from it.
Best natural light pics of the vette to date.
Looks good... and still don't get why some have a problem with da tailights.

Yeah, I know tell me bout'it.
I believe it's the monochrome- ness of the pics of this car.
There is less contrast and delineation with the back valance/difuser, the venting and reflectors, along with the side fender cove grill.
Simply less design distraction by having it all blend together color wise.
IMHO.

Gm engineers were intitially concerned about the the functional vents, due to fears of them being blocked off by overzealous owners who spent a crapload of money adding cf to the engine bay. the quickly realized it would be fine as none would be driving in rain anyway, and dirt wouldnt be an issue unless there were a windstorm in the garage....

Just my humble opinion...
1) The black looks great! The more monochrome the better overall...
2) The tail lights when lit up during breaking don't seem very sufficient? Hope they are bright at night...They look pretty weak at daytime.
3) That butt, from the top of the spoiler down to the bottom edge, has to be the most ginormous corvette a$$ of all time. Not saying it looks bad, but damn, baby got back!

The front pics look cool, but the rear still looks bad. I'm really trying hard to like this thing, but it's not happening. Even if I see it in person, my mind won't change. How does GM design such nice sleek curves in the front and then just chop it off and make it boxy in the back (regardless of any shape tailight)?
This car is really weird...

Maybe you are right about the front. Whatever it is though, still don't think the back compliments the car well. They could have done much better I think. Glad others like it. I def wanted to purchase another Vette, but I guess I will have to wait. Not feeling this one unfortunately...

Well, I hope you guys who like the C7 really enjoy it. I'm waiting on the C8. Hopefully, it will be more to my liking.

Each time I see pics it goes like this.
I like it....I dont like it....I like it.....I dont like it....and on and on.
It is just interesting that from different angles the car looks so different which is probably distorted by the camera. Heck even different colors seem to dramatically change the character of the car.
I agree the only way you are ever going to know is to see it in person, sit in it and drive it.
