Dejablu said: Yahoo has posted a series of pix of the new C7 Corvette that shows a lot of close-ups of the interior and exterior. It looks like they finally got back to the coke bottle style body side panels like the C3 had, for the new Stingray. 
About time!! 
You can check them out here by clicking on the C7 picture.

my7t1 said: It has gone totally European in style as far as I'm concerned. In my opinion it has completely lost the look of Motor City Muscle. It may be my age, but as I see it all of the newer produced muscle cars such as the Camero, Charger, Mustang, etc. have all still kept that American body style look. With that said, as far as European style cars go its one bad-azz ride!! Should compete very well with the Ferrari, Porsche and so on. The only thing I would have liked to see is round tail lights as opposed to using the Camero look.
I aggree.............tail lights.............too Camaro!

Been studying it some more. The overall shape is good. I like how the front fenders rise up C3 style. Ditch the hood vent; it looks stupid. I know it has a purpose but it still looks stupid. The side vents are twice the size they should have been. I don't like the rear quarter windows; probably useless anyway for lane changes. I like the rear window. But that backend is way too busy...too many contours. And the tail lights should have been round.

Oh, and the crossed flags look like they came off of a Firebird.

And so it begins....the all-too familiar tradition of nit-pickin the heck out of the latest/greatest Corvette. It started with the '56, and carries on today. 
I agree that the butt-end is a bit too busy, BUT(no pun intended), I believe that in different colors, the effect will be much mo pleasing. Even the side 1/4 window looks much mo betta on the silver car than the red one.
I wanna get ahold of one up close and personal, and see how the inside fits my backside, since that is what I absolutely HATE about the C5/6 cars...I just don't fit in them.
Overall, I think GM did the Corvette community proud on this one. I dint get excited over the C5, and the C6 was only marginally better. THIS one, however, makes me all giddy....
