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!

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.
