You know - the latest advancement in carbon fiber - not only is it clear, it is lighter than regular carbon fiber. Costs about the same to produce but is a bitch to use cuz you can never see where you last left it

Overall exterior A- but I don't know of any current car that gets an A or A+ on the exterior. However, after driving a C5 and C6 for a while, the interior gets an A with no qualifications.

I give it an A and hawed body color vents will be a dealer installed option. At first I wanted the vents body color and right now I think I'd get it just as the designers designed it.

I like the purity of design and of course could always change that simple enough...

Z51 torch red MRC NPP m7 with competition seats gets my vote......and one day my money...

That will be my fourth new corvette. Nice car

The car is very beautiful until you see it from the rear end

That for me is a MAJOR SCREW UP so I give it a C+

Honestly, if they had just given this thing a nice looking rear end it would be PERFECT!

Overall, right now the base car is a C, which is disappointing. Previous model wide body looks better.

The C7 is a portal to the future, not the window to the past that some might have preferred. Seeing is believing.

I give it a solid and well deserved A.

It is aggressive. It is fresh. It does not deal with cliche features of the past. The car is obviously a Corvette and will appeal to new markets.
I say A plus...IMHO
