floraneg Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I am a die hard Corvette guy, but I must say, I am not impressed with this rendering. It looks as if it is a combination of the rear of the Camaro and the body of a Porsche Panamera. I sure hope they don't go with the square glass in the back. I still have my fingers crossed for something very close to the concept model that was in the Transformers movie with the split window, but something tells me that it's going to be closer to the one in the article compared to the movie. If it is, I won't be purchasing one. Animation firm brings C7 Chevrolet Corvette conjectures to life - Yahoo! Autos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Yeah. That's been around for a couple of weeks. Not exactly my cup of tea, but just like when the C6 came out, I'll wait and see. Having just bought a new one, I'm not about to jump on the C7 bandwagon any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floraneg Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Love the 427 Rich. I really hope they are going to have a split window. I was thinking of picking up an anniversary, but I really want to see what the C7 looks like first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE Mook Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I doubt this is it. I doubt any of us have really seen the C7 yet. I'll believe what a C7 looks like when I see one in person. Just too much out there right now to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mike Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I am clearly in the minority here. I really like most of the rendering but have to agree with the comments against the Camaro style tail lights. Even if the C7 blows my socks off when it's released, I won't be in a position to buy one right away anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Other than the tail and the large wheel well reflectors, I like it. It's the interior that IMO needs the most help though. THAT is what I want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerdan11 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Im sure thats not what its going to look like. But I think we will see some more pics coming fairly soon. I just read that GM is stopping tours of the Corvette factory at the end of this month so It can begin working on the production version of the C7 which should be produced mid 2013. So I would think that we will see what it looks like in a few more months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryPolska Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 If GM ends up going with the square style Camaro tail lights, that'll be a huge fail on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralfy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 i dont like that at all, the roof to me kind of looks like a GTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbeard Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Like others have said, I'll believe it when I see it. The Corvette team has done an excellent job of keeping the C7 development under wraps. But I will say, they have a big task trying to improve on the C6. Other than the lame seats/interior, it really is an amazing (and attractive) package for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 When the C5 first came out I didn't like it at all. Then in 2003 I bought one. When the C6 first came out I didn't like it at all. But the GS and Z06 models have really evolved into a great looking car -- I really like them, but have no desire to own one right now. This new C7... I really don't care for it now, especially the Camrao-esque taillights (which I don't really like on the Camaro, either). But who knows... it may very well grow on me, an I'm sure the real car will look more cohesive than these spy shot mockups. Interestingly, too, I think for a long time a lot of people thought the C5 was the best looking Vette in the modern era, but to me it's really starting to look dated. I like the current C6s a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the current C6s a lot more. Couldn't agree more... I always seem to like the full tilt top of the line model the best... Has anyone seen the photoshopped pics of the new Chevy SS? It's a new Impala, and Malibu with Camaro wheels stuck on it. IMO they're both off by a mile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralfy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 i dislike the new impala, it should be a RWD V8. and the Chevy SS....its hard to say, gotta see em in person. But Since they will be a limited production i doubt driving one will be in my future haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
