Passed a C6, and realized they dropped the ball, so decided to modify its looks his own way.

They hit the nail on the head with the c6, even more so with the c6 zo6, and zr1, he'll even the Gs looked damn good, but god damn they straight up missed the whole nail and hit their thumb on the c7. The motor and interior seems like a nice improvement, but the exterior is just not doing it for me.

I agree. I don't hate most of the car, but I think the rear really kills it.

I think the more traditional vette rear would have been better with the new front end.

It looks like a stupid Camaro back there. What the hell is wrong with the C6? Why do they need to change it?

Well, Id say thats why it didn't make it to the c6 product. Looks GAY. Looks OK at best for the camaro, but **** me if your going to put it on a corvette. I personally think it looks terrible. And wtf, penguin has a good point, finally. The new silverado (from the pics i've seen) looks like a ******* matchbox toy.


GM is losing it, i think.

Car doesnt look that bad IMO. Just because the tail lights are identical to the 5th Gen Camaro it doesnt make it "GAY" honestly. Just wait till you see it in person, it will be another story.
