Problem IS just exactly HOW to describe what I don't like about the styling.....

starts with too much fancy curves around all the lights, capped by chrome/plastic strips.....trying to out fancy some other design team....as in what is the POINT??? car looks like designed by some HS art major...use of LED lights etc is OK, but the weird shapes their use can be lent to is getting silly.....then the side scoops......fugly.....then the overall shape of the body, mutch less the use of stoopid spoiler designs.....fine for racing, but for a sleek street sports car?? Cummon MAN......

then the total over use of electronics......so much so they can't even get the CHIPS MADE????!!!!!

HOO needs video screens to watch on a dash??? not ME, glance at a gauge with the needle in familiar position, and feel assured......reading some DigITALL panel while in traffic/on the road.....need be setting still in a jamb to be able to decipher all that crap.....

I suppose that gauge crap can be gotten used to....maybe.....but traffic around here don't allow time for that crap, sneeze once at bumper/bumper 50+ mph traffic and watch watt happens to your insurance rates....

You're grouping the vette in with all the other shit mfg produce. That's a whole different area, cheap bumpers, too much electronics shit, etc. Non repairable parts.
