I really want to like the new car. I'll be at the NY auto show to see it in person Thursday and will report back. If GM is smart they'll offer some kind of discount to lure buyers who are on the fence between the C7 and an awesome deal on a leftover C6.

I recently saw some new pics of the C7, although I'm still not SOLD on the car, it did in fact look better than previous pics I've seen.
After looking through many pics of the C7 since it arrived, I've come to the conlusion that the car was designed from the inside out. It just seems that the engineers put so much into the design and performance of the engine and interior, all of which were badly needed, but seem exausted, puzzled and rushed when it came to the appearence, almost like they were rushed to come up with it, even the areodynamics of the body design are great, but maybe this is why the appearence of the car is the way it is. JMHO.

I'm sorry, but I don't know how you can say that rear end is well thought out. It looks completely tacked on compared to the rest of the car's sleek design.

The rear end is not a bad design it just doesn't work well on a Corvette. Too bulky.

GM better hope C6 owners buy the C7 or sales numbers are going to suck!

My overall opinion of both the C7 Coupe and Vert is a solid A both inside, out, and all around. And I have not even seen it yet in person. I expect my score to go even higher attending the NY Auto Show. The price, performance and reliability with all the new tech is yet to be tested but I'm optimistic.
But I do have a concern. The C7 is so distinct and dramatic with it curves, angles and overall looks, not seen anywhere else in this price range for sports cars, the more we see them on the road soon and in subsequent years, it's design will not wear well into a 5+ year run. With that I would expect serious appearance updates mid cycle, like with the C6 GS, to keep interest high. That along with higher performance Z cars.
