More importantly, why are you still here? I think I'm going to break down and finally put you on my ignore list as I can't deal with reading another one of your posts.

Let me make this simple so even someone like you can understand. I am here because I love the C7. You on the other hand have already made your point that you don't like it. Enough already. You have had your say. Move on. People who like this C7 don't feel like reading the negative posts over and over your kind seems determined to make repeatedly. Find the corvette model you like and behave like a mature adult and post in that section.

I finally figured out the crossed flags on the rear remind me of a Trans Am.

I never thought that before, but for some reason they do when they are on the rear with those taillights.

I still like it though.

I love the C7. It is a huge money saver for me. I am keeping my C6 Z06. That rear end looks great on a Camaro. Not a fan of it on the C7.

G, I thought the forum was about the Corvette community and people were allowed to disagree with others without getting bad mouthed by them. If someone doesn't like the C7 then let them say it, we're not brain washed into thinking if it's a Corvette it must be the most beautiful thing ever created. The Corvette will get better and better by good and bad opinions.

These must be some pre-production, possibly hand built taillights. I wouldn't expect LED's to burn out so early in their life span...

In the wild or in captivity, The rear end just does not do it for me. I love the front though. Another thing I am not crazy about and nobody mentioned at least in this thread is those wheel well reflectors, I don't really care for those either. I was honestly thinking about going with a C7, but unless it knocks my socks off in person, I believe I will stick with my Supercharged C6. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, it just does not do it for me. Every time a new generation came out, I was excited and had to have one, but not this time. I am disappointed this time. I don't understand why GM wants to keep everything a secret until unveiling, in my opinion they should design a several renditions in drawing, or clay to see how the corvette fans feel about each one. Listen to what the people want, then build it. JMHO

Rearward visibility appears to be pretty confined on the Z51 model, what with the tall spoiler and the blackout trim around the margin of the rear hatch window. Sort of like my old '63 Split Window in overall effect.

Those pics don't make it look any better looking than the test mules with all of that camo crud on them.

This Vette (you can put performance into any shape) is gonna be a FLOP.

I have to believe these cars has nearly 100K miles on them at this point.

I'm having more problems with the lettering. That'd be the first thing I'd take a heat gun to.

While there are some elements to the C7 I like, they are far outweighed by the elements I don't like. Most of which I'm hoping GM will fix with the release of the Z06/ZR1 version of the C7. No way, will I ever be interested in downgrading from my C6Z for the base C7 that we see here.

Looks like they're doing some data logging
