I can't wait to see one in person
Time to sell the Camaro???

Oh and I'm diggin it!!!

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."

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?
