Just saw a new corvette. I first saw it in traffic I couldn't figure out what it was, I thought maybe it was Ferrari. Basically looked pretty good since I thought it was a exotic from far.

I fell in love with the new Corvette when I saw it at the '13 NY International auto show. The rear of the car is not all that bad in person.

At the last local Cars & Coffee there were four new Corvettes present. All, but one had black wheels. :ack:

Side note, there were 840 vehicles present at the last C&C in November. Apparently some sort of record.

+1

I have seen a few examples of the new Vette in person and it's really a great looking car, but none of them had black wheels (fortunately!)

I've never been a Vette person, and still not sure if I'd actually buy one, but it is really a nice looking car and all-around a much better offering. Kudos to GM for making some interesting new models. It really is good to see the "Big 3" (or Big 2 1/2) coming up with some respectable vehicles over the past few years after years of questionable stuff.

Huge improvement over the C6, which was terrible. The C5 had nice curves.

There are still some things I wish were done better on the C7, but it's eye catching!

Weird, I found the C6 to be a nice improvement over the C5, which was just okay. That big slab-sided butt was just not attractive to me. Still waiting to see my first C7 on the road.

I saw a C7 for the first time on the road just over a week ago... From the approach, its obviously a 'vette. Didn't get a good look at the rear as it went by...

I was thinking the same thing.

I like the general shape of the C7 (which isn't that much different from the C6), and the proportions are solid. The details, though, are a bit overwrought, particularly the big slash on the side and the terrible, terrible, awful, really super bad graphics around the taillights, which look like raccoon eyes.

bottom part(faring?) of the rear looks odd too being all blacked out

Yeah I also prefer the c6 to the c5. Have yet to see a c7 in person.
