it's a beautiful shape but I'm not a fan of the execution. rear exhaust looks silly. while it's too soon to say from pics, the corvette interior has never been up to par with its asking price. hopefully this one's different.

I like the design of the back.
Never was a big fan of the corvette, so I found the 4 circle lights played out and boring.
Rear looks so much better now in my opinon.

It looks like they tried to apply eye liner to the taillights, and the car decided to cry.

Corvette is not like Porsche 911 where they progressed from previous generation.
For example, if you look at C1 or C2 Corvette, can you tell the resembles in C7 or even C6?
If you look at Porsche 911, you can easily tell it's the 911 at any generation.
Whereas Corvette...at some generation it could be Nissan Z car, Ferrari, etc.

This car looks bausss! Might have to be my next car! Only reason i never picked up a domestic car b4 was due to the shitty interiors. You cant beat the price for what you get. Power, great looks in both departments interior/exterior with a price tag of 60 g? Cant complain!
Lomac
01-14-2013, 01:39 PM
That's why I said from the C4 onwards. As much as I love the 911, it's an inferior design and all the Porsche engineers are able to do are tweak the design a bit to keep up with modern technology. There's only so much you can do, design wise, with a jumped up Beetle. :p
Red looks sick! Cant wait 2 see it in black or white. Looks so aggressive! Imagine it lowered on some coils, with a set of DPE'S!

01-14-2013, 02:04 PM
Regardless of the similarities with other models, I think this model will have a tremendous presence on the road...
At first i was critical of the design too... but it's already growing on me.
I love it, I love everything about it. Fanboy'd out while watching the intro video. Gonna take my Vette out for a spin today.

Sshhhhhhg. Are you trying to draw Marco into this discussion?
I think people will hate this car even more. While Vettes were kicking Porsches asses for years performance-wise, a Porsche fan could always fall back on the touchy-feely stuff like the crappy interior. Now that the Vette has what appears to be a significant upgrade to the interior there's less for people to bitch about. I wonder what they'll come up with next to bash this Vette? There just HAS to be some flaw with it somewhere that puts it beneath the mighty 911.

Same! I want this car now, but i know if you wait a year or two and grab one form the states you'll be able to get the car for nearly half the price! However, i'm pretty sure its still going be a z06 not a z07. Its always been called the z06 however who knows they might change it, since they are calling it the chevrolet stringray and not corvette.

Yeah you are right! All of them were Z06s so it makes no sense for this one to be a z07. Whatever it will be, definitely worth a wait! I'm a Euro car guy but I always had a soft spot for Vettes. I always hated their interiors though, but this one seems to be exponentially better! Can't wait to see this thing in person.

The Corvette still has the GM interior...I know it's much better than C6's plastic interior, but if you compare it next to the NSX...suddenly the C7 interior looks dated.

http://s7.postimage.org/jreu6jriz/33_2014_chevrolet_corvette_reveal.jpg
Like i said you get what you pay for! 6 figures for a nsx(personally not digging the design, looks mediocre at best,) or save yourself 40-50 grand and opt for a vette which will most likely run circles around the nsx in both a straight line and track, + looks. Not to even compare is to a to the new z06 (most likely come stock with 550+hp). I want a car where u can feel the raw power when you step on the gas, and connects the car and driver(a real sports car), not a supposed v6 turbo electric hybrid (w.e u wanna call it:suspicious:)

I would have made the tail lights circular and gave it a better interior though. Also quad exhausts can look great, but not when they're together in a line like that :heckno:

Wow, sold for at auction for $1.1 million that's pretty nuts! Apparently all proceeds went to charity :thumbs:
So that means it will depreciate by $1.05 million in the first year...that's about average, isn't it :smug:
C7 looks very nice though. Definitely has some character :thumbsup:

^It's not about the depreciating factor, it's about giving money to charity and owning serial #001.

yeah I am actually curious about depreciation rate.
let's say the owner wants to sell the car 5 or 10 years later, how much would the car's gonna go for?
same thing for $1 million C6 ZR1.

^^That doesn't work.
This is the problem with a name. Because we call it Corvette we have a bunch of fanboys that start dictating what needs to happen with the design.
Hell, the round tails weren't even a part of the original corvette. I want to say 1962? and realistically, I get a very large sense of the original corvette with the front grill opening.
Why would I want to go and buy a new rear bumper, have it installed, and painted to match to have people look at my car and say, "hey, your car looks like the old corvette"

^ yeah but they have done it since C2 model so it's ok
That's kinda same as Nissan Fairlady though

Here, just like Corvette...Fairlady was not always the same looking.
Same goes with Supra, Mustang, Camaro, etc...I guess Porsche 911 does pretty good job keeping the same shape though.

I may be a fanboi but I'm not dictating what needs to happen with the design. If I dictated the design it would be a 63 split window body on a c7 drivetrain. It's just different after 53 years of similar taillights. It would be like Porsche getting rid of headlight humps. Early C1 didn't have round lights. C1 pretty much shares nothing in common with the rest of generations. C2/C3/C4/C5/C6 did. This car is called stingray and C2 was when the original stingray started.
People change their wheels and plastidip every surface known to man, I don't think they are dictating what the design should be. Just making it their own.
f40/f50/f430/GTR/Veyron all have 4 round lights in the back so they must be good right timpo?

I've been a huge corvette fan my whole life... and I really think the new design is crazy nice. the C6 and C7 look are huge upgrades from the C5.

^^Even the C5 is still a pretty car. I think its aged way better than the c4's.
Interior is straight up crap mind you ;)

The C4's the least appealing generation of Corvettes, hands down.

In all honesty, yes the C4 now looks dated, but at the time it was a revolutionary design. Especially compared to the car it replaced, and the cars available on the market.

I see your Corvettiero, and raise you this Corvette Sedan - offered at $7000 obo on Cardomain.

Seriously, the C4's stunning. I'd proudly own one.
Here's the thing. The C4's a shaven down C3, to my eye. The C3's basic lines are beautiful, so the subdued C4's quite nice, but the visceral side-piped sex appeal of the C3 leaves it seeming lacking. The 205hp of the C4 in comparison to the C3's higher hp numbers only furthers that impression.
The C5, now, that's a revolutionary car. The C5's design's the most radically divergent of the breed, and it set the stage for the C6 and C7.
