Default DAM! The C7 Looks Horrible From This Angle..

It looks so "blocky" and high. I hate the fact that the transparent top has no paint on the sides to continue the roof line forward. Also That black rear valance panel has to be changed or painted body color. The car just looks so wrong from this view.

OK, how about this: Loss leader with a $50k MSRP, discounted to $45,995. Liking it any better now?

I think it looks great, and can't wait to see mine from that angle.

Nope still not pretty at any price. The car looks good from the front but not this angle.

Torch, sorry you don't like it, man. Don't know what else there is to say. To each his own I guess.

I agree. This angle would look much better in a darker color, like grey or black. This isn't the prettiest angle for torch red, which is unfortunate because I think torch red is stunning from the front.

Its so disappointing to me. The car really looks like a$$ from this angle. I want to buy a Vert in 2016 but the more of it I see the more I think my 2013 will be my last Corvette.

Why keep posting about the car if you hate it so much??? Keep your C6 or C5 and move on.

All the whining, crying and complaining will NOT change the car or GM's plan to produce it.

Do you actually drive the C6 you just bought 2 months ago?

Or do you spend all day long in the C7 complaining about the car you didnt buy?

That rear valance is painted, it will be easy to take it off and get it painted body color if you so desire to fill in the look. I thought it looked good when I saw it in person, pictures don't always give the right impression.

By the way, my order is in for a Torch Red C7, so I may be biased.

Base wheels, small rear wing, poor lighting, blurry photo, etc...not the best photo op.

Correct. Only lack of buying will do that.

Looks great to me. If I don't like something I don't make such a big deal about it. Guess maybe when a product it out of your price range you tend dislike easier?????????

Its also a non-production car. Which means several items are missing from it. Even one of the show cars (the cybergrey coupe) had an incomplete interior. Which is why the doors were not opened and the public was not allowed a peak inside when it first shown.

The C7 is the best looking Vette yet. And, this is coming from someone who loves the look of his GrandSport. In a few MYs most of the nay sayers will be lining up at their Chevy dealers to do the "update".
