Cool C7 Corvette Stingray looking awesome in Blue and Black

Now these colors I like better than the red and gray they used at the launch in Detroit, especially with the Z51 package.

ITS BEEN SPOTTED! Laguna Blue Tintcoat and Black 2014 Corvette Stingray

From the looks of these pictures, it appears that these test cars are roaming around in my backyard!

Default Thumbs down on the taillights

At first I thought people were overreacting about the Camaro-like taillights, but I see where they're coming from now.

That makes them so much worse. The square corners on the black area look like ****, and it takes up half the rear end of the car which really doesn't help

I'm not a big fan of the rest of the car, too angular for me and will look dated soon, but the rear of this car ruins it.

I agree completely with the above post. I really think they should have just done a slight change to the already nice c6 body style.

I would like for people in this thread to post a picture of the Camaro that the C7 rear end looks like.

I think you need to look up the word "identical", because to me, they don't look all that close. Similar, maybe, but not much.

Agreed. They look similar as part of the same design family, but nowhere near identical.

Yeah there are a few of them running around out here.

That almost looks like the 202.

You must be blind then. Nobody is saying they are identical, but the C7 rear looks like it should/could have been the rear of the 6th gen Camaro.



I don't know how you can look at that and the C7 rear and say they don't look like they should be the same model/different generation car. Taillight design is similar, the blacked out rear-center section has the same square corners, third brakelight is the same shape and blacked out on both, similar spoiler, license plate area is the same \_____/ shape.

The front looks good but the rear is hideous. Looks like a cheap rear bumper. They need to change that before production.

Car looks good but the rear would be so much better with more body color IMO. The ceta part should be smaller, cutting just above the tips...not halfway to top of bumper! Thats why the black look so good.

I think the camaro tail light thing aint that true after; vette lights are unique.

I love it!!! I think its about time Chevy did something different with the Corvette tail lights. I like the C6 vettes but seriously four round tail lights look good????

For the people with macular degeneration the the rear ends of the C7 and the Camaro look similar, however those who are able to see clearly are able to see the differences. Please don't argue your stupid point, if you aren't able to distinguish between the two. The C7 design rocks and it is the new Corvette, so it will sell and sell well.

1961 Impala - three round tailights per side red/white/red
1961 Biscayne - two rouns tailights per side red/white
1961 Corvettr - two round tailights per side red/red

OMG!!!!! They all share the same design tailights. The humanity!!!!!!

This discussion that the rears are the same has passed into the ridiculous. The tailights are not even the same shape, the only thing thay share is angularity. Time to call this one dead.
