I watched the reveal live......
I love it, it's revolutionary for where the car came from. I'll stare at it for a long time and keep finding things I didn't see at first.
Now, if they can FINALLY get the interior right, THAT will define whether this car is world class or not. It's always been the flaw in the diamond that decreased it's design and quality value.
I can't wait to see one in person

I was really hoping the ass wasn't going to be that "concept-ish", for lack of a better word. The lines are a bit, sharp, for my taste. Maybe it will look better in person though. I didn't like the C5 when it first came out, and I ended up owning 2 of them...

I think it's a change for the better! By far! Can't wait to see them around town. Funny I never saw any of them camo Ed up like I did the c5s when they came out. They did a good job with everything!
Overall I like it though my first impression was "that's humorous, the Vette's rearend now look's like it came from a Camaro." :yes:

Had a 2010 Grand Sport for awhile and seeing this ensures I will get another C6. Park a C6 anywhere near a Ferrari 360 and you could see where GM ripped off ideas. This car is a blatant ripoff of the 599 IMO. As soon as I saw the front 3/4 view I immediately thought 599. When I saw the rear end I threw up a little. I feel like the designers just sat around cruising the net at work like the rest of us ;) but instead of going back and doing real work the rest of the day, they just plagiarized what was out there and called it their own by tacking on the Camaro rear, maybe because sticking with round taillights would have made it look even more like the Ferrari.
Literally, to me, it looks like a mutt where the 599 (front and overall side profile styling) screwed a Camaro (rearend) and a GTR (roofline) shot the video. I will reserve final judgement until I see one in person as that often makes a huge difference. I went from thinking the Grand Sport looked cool to "must have one" when I saw it in the showroom. But I liked the images of the GS online, this C7 definitely not.

Yeah the quarter windows look a little odd to me, otherwise I think it looks pretty good.

2 thumbs way down. I hate it. I've owned a c5 coupe, and a c5 z06. I'm a huge corvette fan. Have been since I was a kid. I don't like anything about this car, looks wise. The performance speaks for itself, however. Like said above, best bang for the buck sports car, period. Boy am I disappointed. I was hoping the renderings were all wrong. Camaro tail lights? Really?

I like it!! I would definitely put one in my driveway (just need about a 75% discount).

YEs I do want one. Sooo much better than the previous designs.
ROFL at people calling the rear "Camaro tail lights". While similar - definitely not the same. Additionally, GM has pretty much gone through every iteration of quad tail lights possible - round, square, oval, round again. Time for a change.

now if it looked like this, I would be on board! Remove the splitter and lower rockers and you could almost drive it on the street :D And it wouldn't be anywhere near the base price.
Ravenworks - now that picture is simply a little slice of heaven right there :lolhit:

Anybody know the model lineup? Does the base model carry the stingray name or is that the z06 replacement? Base rear tire width is supposed to be around 10 I believe...
