The company that leaked this piece also leaked the rear piece as well, which coupled with the spy photos of the C7 testing, pretty much confirms the C7 will look exactly like the Jalopnik rendering that has been circulating for a few months now.

The C7 is going to look like **** IMO, as I'm now sure the Jalopnik renderings were right as they were spot on with what the nose and rear look like. They are trying to Camaro-ize the Corvette, HORRIBLE idea! Might as well throw in some C4 styling to top it off!

Paul87

Throwing in C4 styling would be a plus, IMO

I'm thinking this new vette will look real nice. Everyone is gonna hate on it, then everyone will covet it, just as everyone did with the C5-C6 transition.

Definitely reminds me of a 4th gen camaro except with pointy headlights.

The thing is that at every new Corvette time no one comes out and says they ABSOLUTELY love it. Because were used to our C5's(still relevant) and C6's and it HAS to beat the C6 performance wise for it to even be considered to gain respect. Exactly like the 5th gen. Lotta people don't have big enough respect for the 5th gen b/c it didn't have a HUUUUUGGGGEEEEE gap from the fbody when it came out.

So IMO if right off the bad the C7 base is .5 secs faster than the C6 base and still has the great MPG people well give it respect then will warm up to the new looks(whatever it may be), the looks is just a matter of getting used to.

Anyone know when we might see the big reveal from GM?

I agree.





Probably January at the Detroit Auto Show, but we'll see some good spy photos and more 'leaks' before then as well I'm sure.

Like all gen corvettes it's predecessor usually tops its current model. Chevy has set the bar with the ZR1 so I can't wait to see what will top that amazing car.

I like it alot plus I can't wait to see what kind of power the new motors are going to make.

I think it looks good.

Corvettes are cars that keep looking better each generation IMO.

I agree with that, thunder, I think the c6 is the best ever, and think this one will look good too.

For anyone worried that the car will have square styled tails...much like the rendering floating around. Here is a spy photo of the car testing.



Has the traditional round tails.

What about it is Camaro-ized?



I don't see it....

If anything I think it is Italianized with some influences from Ferrari and Lambo along with more aggressive lines like they have been using on the Cadillac for years

Agreed. I do not see any Camaro in it either.

Yes, this new Corvette will usher in the very first of the new Gen V small blocks, should be some very cool stuff happening.

There are A LOT of people that hate the way this design is going, I don't recall anyone hating the C6 design. And the reason most people don't like the 5th gen Camaro is more because it is a big ugly pig than because it isn't much faster in a straight line.

It's not going to have round taillights, if you watch the video that shows this front bumper it also shows the rear taillights and they look identical to the Jalopnik ones. The rear of this car looks a lot like the Camaro, and I'm not a fan of the sharp angles they are using on it like the Camaro has.

I have yet to see a vette that I hate. There are some that aren't my favorites but I can't imagine not liking the C7. That side shot from Jalopnik looks kinda like a GTR in the *** area. I dont hate it. I think I prefer the C6 over it though. I can't wait to see the final product.

It's going to look great. I know I'm in the minority but I think the jalopnik rendering looks awesome. Once it comes out more people will be onboard with the looks.
