yeah the C6 looked better than this... like everyone else said, they should not have done the camaro-style square light rear end.

and for the record: in 97 the crown vic switched from leaf springs to 4 link, and it handles like a fully loaded trash barge even with the police springs

Cadillac Camaro Corviper

The front and grill looks like a 1999 camaro.

The more I look at it this car the less I'm liking it. Are those audi style led strips in the headlights?

"he rounded square is currently in fashion, you see it in other automotive and industrial design everywhere right now. Its been dubbed the "squircle"."

If they really were squircles or rounded rectangles, I would actually like them. That is, something like one of these: http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/47.gif

But the thing is, the outer two are squashed and tilted HEXAGONS and the inner two are squashed and tilted PENTAGONS.

Hexagons and pentagons don't fit on this car... it is not a Lambo or a Vector. The rest of the car is curvy, so those pentagonal and hexagonal lights look like shit, and that is completely aside from the fact that they remind the viewer of a Chevy much lower down the food chain, the Camaro.


P.S. First one sold for USD 1,100,000 at auction, compared with USD 300,000 for first SRT Viper at same auction last year.

you mean they should have just taken the C4 taillights from the parts bin and slapped them on the C6?

1/21/2013 2:08:58 PM

SQUARE LIGHTS OMG!

1/21/2013 2:12:56 PM

I'm not scared to admit that I actually like the tail lights

1/21/2013 3:03:19 PM

nothing but haters in here

1/21/2013 3:56:01 PM

enlightened haters

1/22/2013 2:24:24 AM

...nobody care to comment on the stock look of that old c4


with a set of drag wheels and skinny/fatty tire sizing...


Looks like BBR got ahold of that thing

1/22/2013 9:15:46 AM

its also got a roll cage and new exhaust.

not much stock about it other than the shell.

1/22/2013 11:06:15 AM

Put me down for the murdered z06 c7. In about 10 years Damn thing will cost 100k probably

I'm selling my long position GM stock because of the styling of the new Corvette and the new Silverado .

Who thought copying Saab and putting chrome around the headlights was a good idea?

1/28/2013 6:42:54 PM

I swear it looks like a Camaro from the middle of the doors back.

RIP Corvette

1/28/2013 6:45:36 PM

I like the new CamaroOOOOHHHHH MY GOD THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A CORVETTE????

1/28/2013 7:35:05 PM

the only thing i'd want to change is the front bumper/grill, but when you're goin fast enough or you're inside the car, you and everyone else can't see it

1/28/2013 7:40:19 PM

so many haters you would think this is a UNC thread.

1/28/2013 11:55:49 PM

HERE COMES THE HATE

^^ much better!!

1/31/2013 4:44:46 PM

I thought the vents around the tails were functional exits for the diff hot air. I wouldn't mind seeing it done like that but suspended in a black metal mesh that allows the air to exit.

1/31/2013 5:40:32 PM

1/31/2013 6:12:19 PM

Those rounded lights just do not work on this body style...

I think they look worse than the original lights.

2/1/2013 8:37:27 PM

I think the rounded lights look 10x better.

2/1/2013 10:11:50 PM

It'd be nice of those rear circle lights were done in LEDs.

2/2/2013 12:02:37 AM

those look nice, as would the lights from C4. i have a suspicion that the C4 lights might look better than the C6 ones, i.e., rounded rectangles rather than circles/ovals.

i think they tried to make it look aggressive with those pentagons and hexagons, but instead ended up making it look all cartoonish, and those tailpipes just add to the cartoonishness.

2/2/2013 6:33:01 AM

The C6 lights look a lot better, but they're also an obvious retrofit and clearly not the "right" thing. Not sure the C4 rectangles would be any better than the C6, though.

2/2/2013 1:41:01 PM

LOLOLOLOL

2/13/2013 9:07:46 AM

Actually growing on me now after original hate curve. It's like I didn't like it then I hated it the more I saw it and now I'm like... Mehh its not terrible.

Which translates to... I'd consider the z06 version if I was in the market for a new car over 60k.


Which is saying something cause again I prefer ford.

[Edited on February 13, 2013 at 9:18 AM. Reason : .]

2/13/2013 9:16:09 AM

i think they need to split the difference between the c7 and c6 tails.

2/13/2013 9:30:33 AM

to go with that photo lol ^^^

"This Corvette C7, one of three to appear on public roads after the car debuted in Detroit, somehow wrecked in Arizona. DigitalCorvettes.com member “gpetry” posted the picture of the wrecked C7 and said a friend in Arizona emailed him the photo last week. It is uncertain how the crash happened, but the source gave this description: “Driving through some mountains in Arizona about 30 minutes ago. In some tight switchbacks when we passed this ’14 Vette. Cop had just arrived. Car is in worse shape than looks. Hit guardrail on left and bounced back to rocks. Somebody had a bad day…” The C7, powered by a new LT1 GM V8 engine that produces 450 horsepower, exceeds the C6 in every performance statistic, so the question is: was the crash caused by driver error or a malfunction with the new car? Comment below and let us know what you think."

2/13/2013 6:52:27 PM

If it had round taillights the tail wouldn't have broken loose in the curve like that.
