The back of the new 'vette is just awful in my eyes, but then again that's why it's called personal opinion
![]() I like the overall lines of the C5, it's just very smooth. Didn't say anything about the car itself. Since inception the car has always been about smooth curves. Even in the 80's when most cars were pretty damn square, the 'vette retained the smoothness. The blockiness of the new one makes me think that the damn thing is about to fold out into optimus prime or some shit. The tail-lights add to that; they didn't have to retain the circles, but they could have gone with something less ridiculous. And the exhaust, as mentioned, is god-awful. Still, it's going to be a great car. All I'm saying is I'm not the biggest fan of the design, same as with a lot of GM cars lately. I like what Ford is doing to reinvent its styling more. I know I'm in a minority, but I'm not alone. A friend who owns a Cobalt SS and just loves just about everything GM was the first to show me the pics, saying "WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!?"

No, you're not.
![]() This car won't age well, it's typical of GM design, too much immature "look at me" styling which doesn't age well.

I might be going against the grain here, but I love the new modern Vette, and I definitely see the Vette lineage being displayed, especially from the 3/4, and side views.

![]() Despite what people might think, the Camaro is a styling success, mostly because it brings a lot of attention on the street and in the showroom. It was drawing attention away from potential Corvette buyers as well. People were just bypassing the 'Vette for the cheaper Camaro because it looked cooler. The C7 had to straighten that out. |

The only part that really looks foreign to me is the large gash on the front fender. It is just out of place and doesn't flow with any other line on the car. It's like a ninja just rolled up and cut it. I was just discussing the looks with a coworker who is not really into cars and I showed him the Ferrari F12 that I think this car strongly resembles and he was shocked. It's like a cheap American knockoff of the Italian beauty.

Hey look, they're red sportscars and happen to be front-engined and RWD! That means they must look exactly like each other!
They're hardly similar looking aside from the obvious engineering-based design dictations. One's organic and scalloped to hell and back while the other is chiseled and machine-like, with shallow vent graphics plastered everywhere. They're both smoking, regardless.
