yes, I think so too. But I think they used the black to get the younger crowd to like it immediately.

silver wheels look perfect with the Torch red, the black wheels looks little too much with all those black air vents

To me there are some nice things about the new look, but there are others that are a bit off like the spoilers, rear end and inconsistently painted roof panels.
I think there will be some body kits made for the front and back which will make it look stunning, the side looks slick.
Amazing when you copy Ferrari how the car has an exotic look haha.

Hey- made me think of the AC/DC song "Who Made Who" from the movie "Maximum Overdrive"! Sounds GREAT pounding out in my C6 and bet it would sound just as good in a C7

No, it is not the only body colored spoiler that has been photographed:

I don't think it looks like a Camaro, but I don't thint it looks a lot like a Corvette. I see European exotic not American mucsle. But that again is only the looks, not the performance.

how in the hell is this car wider and longer than a C6? It looks tiny.

I think the problem I am having with the C7 is that it just does not look like a corvette (IMO). This is not to say it is ugly. If you told me this was a Lotus, I would say that it's pretty damn cool. I just can't look at it and say "corvette."

It's like someone showing me an apple and telling me its an orange. Unacceptable!!

Of course it doesn't look wider or longer. it's not even 6 inches long in that picture.

Wait. As I understand it, everything changes when you see it in real life.

Again, this is the car that was sitting on the wall at the Detroit reveal.
It was photographed from below to make it look like it was sitting on the ground.

I think the Laguna Blue one photographed in the wild has a matching color spoiler on it, but the photos of it have that part in shadow. If you look closely at the very edges, it definitely appears to match the body color.

I like Torch Red with silver wheels MUCH more than with black wheels. And to make matters worse, the color balance of the pictures of the Torch Red w/black wheels was so off, it made Torch Red look like Torch Orange (at least on my monitor). Now that I see Torch Red w/sliver wheels, I'm starting to think that will be the color combination I go with.

Thats what I think is so great about the work that they did on the car. Yes it looks exotic, but it still says vette to me.
