Other than there are 4 of them, they are not all the much alike IMHO.

hard to make a judgement for certain; since that's a drawing/rendition... and not an actual photo.

Oh; i'm sure it's close though... but i've learned to not rely on anything other than my own eyes... looking directly at the real thing.

:cheers:

I gotta agree; but that alone won't keep me out of a C7 (though the rest of it will need to be very pleasing in order for me to buy one).

I don't like the squareness of the back window or the tailights.

Having observed the debut of every generation from the C2 on, Two things are always true (to me, anyway). They always look better in person, and they always look better as time goes by. I'll be looking forward to seeing them at the WSCC Corvette car shows in Northern California.

I would have agreed to the above until the C6 came out. I haven't really liked the looks of it since its debut. The C7 is giving me the same feeling. :(

It took me 30 years to like the C3. It didn't help that they made it uglier just about every year they built it.

... and they always look better as time goes by.

I hear ya; but that would only happen if you lowerd your standards.

First impressions are everything; one either likes something - or one doesn't. Letting something you originally didn't like... "grow on you"... just means you lowered your initial expectations; caved-in.

The C6 was unique. I didn't care for it - and still don't (the original C6). But there is an exception... when the GS came out with it's wider width body - I actually liked that. Yvonne and I looked at a new 2012 GS vert last spring; but held off because the C7 was just around the corner.

That is how I feel. The giant square window in that shot just jumps out.

I like it. The light strips on each side of the back bumper will look weird though.

The crisp lines make the car look to "busy" and kinda makes it un-appealing visually. It's like a hot slim going for botox injections and coming out with lips so big that Mich Jagger and Steven Tyler would be jealous.

I have a feeling they are moving towards a corporate rear-end look, like they did with the front years ago...

If that's it there is some serious aerodynamics going on.
Especially under the car right out towards the rear diffuser.

I wasn't a big shark fan either until I had the money to buy one and the C4 and C5 were out.

Then this came along

From the looks, I'm sure the lawyers in maranello are working overtime on the lawsuit for stealing design cues from them.

Calm down Mister! I'm pretty fond of my '72. I'm finally making decent progress on it since I put my '69 Camaro in the body shop so I can keep up with Chef. Of course the '69 Camaro looks better than anything Mopar ever put out!:D:leaving:

The rear window throws it off for me. Looks like the mid-90's HUGE projection screen tv's....

Too many hard creases on the body. Not liking the rear either, too much Camaro and Malibu in it. My kid was not impressed either with that pic.

Will have to wait for its public appearance to determine its real look though.

Does it come with screens on the outside to keep the bugs out?

As far as the vettes go, I'm not so sure I want to put another one in the garage just yet. There are other things I would like to try (like the viper), but I've honestly had way, way more fun with my '23 T-bucket roadster.

I think that's going to be VERY close to the real thing. If the taillights were different, I'd give it two thumbs up.
