Most people LOVE the way the 5th gen looks and that's why sales are so good only the small group of people that live life a quater mile at a time complain.

I think the lack of gay *** flip up headlights was the best thing to happen to Corvettes since the ls1.
The only car on the planet I can think of that doesn't suffer from the look of pop ups is the 4th gen ls1 Firebird (even the lt1s suffer from the look IMO)

I agree. The pop up lights are ugly when up. But I have yet to see a better option when it comes to a fixed headlight. (on the birds that is) I think they were/are a necessary evil on those cars.

I kinda like that! The corvette really needed something to make it look aggressive imo and that may do the trick. Excited for the full reveal now. I've always thought the corvette was very bland for having one of the baddest motors in the world that would make other much more expensive supercars think twice.

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.
I feel almost the EXACT same way.

i just think the corvette has gone a wrong direction since the C3.
look i know folks want to compete against exotics in the looks dpeartment. They want the corvette to be considered in the same realm IMO.
that is not the market for the vette. LOW, STYLED, FLARED. styling man.
its an american sports car. i dont want foreign influences. thats why me and Tracy will be getting a 80ish model. too bad.
THAT car looks like a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. exactly like a tiburon.

You know when you're on the toy isle with your kids and you come across the Hotwheels? There's always those over the top versions of the cars and you ask yourself, "Why can't they just make these normal looking"? That's how I feel about that rendering above. There seems to be too much extra (catch a kid's eye) crap on it...hood vents, front fender vents, break vents, rear fender vents, wing, window sticker outer, etc.
I remember liking the 1991's better than the 85-90's, then liking the C5s better than the C4s. When the C6s came out, I really liked the improvement. I'm sure the C7 will be better than the C6, but I'm not too crazy about that rendering. We'll just have to wait and see the real thing.
