Cars change, evolve. And this is just a render. We'll see the real deal at Detroit in January

yea, but the head lights didn't make the car distinctive...

it would be the same if the GTR went to oblong, rectangular or any other weird shaped tail like...

When it comes to the vette, GM is cheeky and secretive. Don't be surprised when it looks a lot different than everyone is guessing.

Like hell they didn't. The Corvette had flip lights from '63 to '96. It was "tradition" at that point. Then they went with fixed lights.

Over time, it grew on me.

I didn't see it that way... the over all shape and tails is what I saw.. but then again growing up, my uncles Stingray always had the headlights down. lol

I am looking forward to it!

b1adesofcha0s · 12-21-2012, 08:33 AM

I am, but it's still like 3 weeks away. I'm most interested in how it looks on the exterior and interior. Just hoping it doesn't get those square camaro tail lights.

C7 = the next gen Corvette.

Square tail lights would ruin everything good about that car
