Waiting to see the real deal rear.

Honestly I had mixed feelings about the new rear, which indeed will look like the leaked images, but I'm really liking it now and I'm sure seeing real photos will prove me correct. But as well all know, seeing it in the flesh can make all the difference.

It was the front end I was not liking up until the today's leak from Road & Track. I knew the real front would look better than the renderings but still was curious what it would end up looking like. For a base model, it looks F-ing bada$$!!!

The real question is buy the base model, or wait a year or more for the Z06 equivalent? I'm definitely going to pick up the new vette as it will surely be amazing.

That's the real deal. This is all stuff that GM provided to the mags so they could get to printing.

This is, anyways:

Depending on the public response, I can see a rear redesign in the near future.

looks like a cross between a camaro and cts-v in the rear. Too busy also.

Need to see it in person before passing real judgement. I thought the 370 was ugly when I saw it in magazines, then I saw them in person at Zdayz 2009 and bought one the day after I got back.

Yeah, I'm with you. I think it's a great looking car. I also see nothing wrong with evolving the look.

I'm very very excited

Surprised to hear so much negative feedback. I've been following this closely for months on corvette forum. The latest pics have me believing this car will look fantastic. It should also be one hell of a performer and finally have a quality interior along with the latest tech. Expect to see my Z up for sale soon.

I do like what they did with the exhausts though. It's similar to what Lamborghini did with the Murcielago and what Porsche does with many of its models.

I'm interested in hearing its stats. But so far, as GSP would say it, I am not impressed with GM's performance.
