The so called pictures in this thread are again just drawings. No actual pictures. So I will wait until I see the actual C7 in Detroit on the 17th of January to form my opinion.

It doesn't do anything for me, but IMHO, the last good looking Vette left the factory with a solid axle and a trunk.

I will reserve full judgement until tomorrow night after the reveal. However, my first thought on the front is that I like it. The rear...eh...depends on how it flows with the rest of the car. The full monty will be seeing it as a whole...I am really hoping that GM pulls a fast one on all of us...and the "spy photos" and all the rendering are NO WHERE close to the finished product. Even though that would be damn near impossible to do.

Did they show a picture of the ground under the rear end? That is where it would most likely leak.

I don't like it one damned thing about it. If that's the front end, it's a sorry attempt at retro (1953-1954 grill teeth), and the back end is just a Camaro tail light disaster. I had hoped that the current Mustang would be the last attempt at retro, but then the Challenger, Mini Cooper, and the Camaro came along. Design something new for a change! I for one am tired of trying to re-create the past. Are tail fins going to be on the next Cadillac? Myabe so, since there are gull-wing doors on a new Mercedes.

OK, man, Mr. Art Critic of the auto world.......

just WHAT wood you do?? I happend to like the B/W pix/rendering of the possible front end.....not so much of the Red color one....

I want to see GM copy me once again and redo the back lights without the silly round ones we have been stuck with for about 45 years now....no, make that since '63 in one variety or another....

time to go square, like me.....

see my sites below.....
