Front is ok, I like the interior. I'm trying to understand how the door opens with that trim line on the bottom. I hate the back end. The back being half black and too many lines, not smooth.
 
Looks some what OK. Too many lines / scoops.

Interior looks like it belongs in a Pontiac.
 
I don't care for it in the marketing pictures, but the reveal video what little you can see of it looks good. Exotic feel to it.
 
I like it, except for the back end.

What is the FF oil for this car now that the oil cap just says "dexos"? I'm assuming it's the XOM produced Dexos oil for GM.

This Corvette is awesome and that is difficult for me to say because I typically do not care for any Chevrolet brands. I am going to the Auto Show in Detroit next weekend and hope to see one there, thanks for the picture.

Toto.
 
I'm not a Corvette guy per se, and if I ever bought a two-seat car, it would probably either be a Porsche Boxster, for an old and not fast Mercedes SL roadster.

But I really like this. I've always appreciated the Corvette for what it can do and at what price point you can do it. I really hope this is very successful it's really in the car. And the seven speed manual sounds awesome. I'll bet that it skips a bunch of gears depending upon use.
 
I agree about the back end. For some reason all new Chevy designs have hideous back ends. Case in point, the new Malibu. Between the license plate-sized bowtie logo (Why does it have to be so big?) and the garish, squared red blocks for taillights, the styling looks like modern art - "art".

Barf!


The new Corvette is gorgeous everywhere other than the rear end. A real home run from the front and sides.

Too busy. I think of Darth Vader everytime I see it. I don't like the trendy L-O-N-G headlight assemblies that are popping up everywhere.
 
I don't know yet. Rear is *****!! Interior looks good but why the air scoop on the back? It's not a mid engine and all the scoops look silly. I also don't like the black wheels - I'm sick of black wheels. Of course it wasn't until the C6 came out that I started warming up to the C5 and I just started liking the C6.

Love my C4 - smooth and not busy looking.

I agree with those that think the rear end is not up to par with the rest of it. I thought it was a good looking vehicle until I saw the pic from behind. Other than that though I like it.

The C7 reminds me of the new Viper, which reminds me of a Ferrari 599. It looks okay, but it has too many sharp and competing angles & surfaces and doesn't flow together properly. Maybe it'll look better in person. I'll make my verdict after I see it in person at the NAIAS in a few days.

That was the first thing that came to my mind as well. But I guess it's meant to stand out. That's one way to do it.
