Spot on Joe.... Don't get that at all. Now if there was a more expensive car that they wanted to draw from, I somewhat understand. Going down to grab from the Camaro is a mistake imho.... Like the rest of the car tho.

All the angles and tail lights look like they came from the "little Cadillac" (STS?) styling but the tail end looks too short from the side........stop the video around 6:32 and it looks whacked off.....not sure I like it??:cool:

Doesn't matter....I don't want one anyway!!:shake:

Yep....looks like they "Gremlined" the back of the new Vette......:shake:
They should go find the 8" section that they wacked off, and put it back on the tail of the car!

The new vett is to appeal to a younger generation,But can new buyers afford a 60 or 70 grand car.The price was unknown but will be very high.:eek:

I think the 2014 Shelby 500kr is the better car.

Too Ferrari like and Camaroish in the rear. Total Fail.

Better choices for the money.

I'm feeling the same thing, Joe.

But, I'd still like to see one.

Perhaps it will look better in person. Perhaps it may grow on me.

Even the new Cadillac, to me looks like a fancied up Civic. Freaking garbage.

C6 ZR1/Z06 Carbon will always be my poster vette.

Oh that and a resto-modded C2 split window hard top.

The last two iterations of the 'vette had that same stubby rear end...looks like someone backed it into a wall at 60 MPH then left it that way...but this one is even more severe.

MASSIVE FAIL.

Love it, ford should make something comparable.. not mustang based. Oh wait they tried with the T Bird and we all know what happened there. haha

My choice, mid 60's Stingray over this car any day.

Agree w/jerrym3 ^^^

Even in the '70s, 'vettes were better looking...when they made them wider and flatter I lost interest.

It surely does not look like my '73 454...but I like the front and sides...will have to see one at the Chev dealer to really look at that back end...hummmmmmm.

They don't make them anymore.

I love my C6 BUT I will buy a C7 in a few years after initial bugs are worked out. It looks different then previous Corvettes but it is not ugly, just different from earlier Corvettes. The base C7 is already reported to go less then 4 seconds 0-60.
I think they hit a home run and when the magazines start testing it and doing comparisons it will be clearer.
Wait till the Z06 and ZR1 models come out in a year or two.

I like the interior upgrade. It's one of the things the C5 Vette (like mine) falls short for the money.

the interior looks sweet with one exception. why in the **** cant they make 4 matching AC vents? or atleast 2 matching pairs?! all 4 are different and look so *****y! the outside looks like poop, and it wont even do 200mph with all tha fancy smancy vents and what not? the shelby looks like a brick in comparison and does 200... also has a back seat

After seeing the car on the BJ selling block, I've got a more positive opinion, but, the taillights, unless they look better in the "flesh", don't look that great, IMHO.

Dash has a nice wrap around look, but I'm not in favor of two toned dashes.

Hate to be the detailer that has to buff out that car!!!!! All those edges will make it a nightmare!

Good luck to the body shops that will be fixing them in the future. It is going to be tough to line all those lines up after an accident....

Maybe one of the vents caught the wind at 120mph and threw it into the rock face...or maybe the car was retaining too much air from all the vents and passed out...

LOL....

Maybe the owner was trying to wipe the Camaro tailights off the rear of their new Vette......:puke:

I read from a poster on another chatbox that the car's a big hit at the Chicago autoshow, and the tail lights aren't that bad in person.
