While it's not confirmed, this looks to be the likely upcoming C7 vette (the middle one), what do you guys think?

Its like it took parts from other cars and mixed it all end, rear is camaro , side quarter panel from gtr , front end looks Italian Ferrari like :-\ looks like shit!

C6 looks ten times better C5 looks good but build quality was the biggest pile of garbage for 40k and up car..

Big vette fan. Own a current C6. Not a chance I'd buy the C7. These spy photos have been circulating the last couple of months, and I can tell you many corvette owners are disgusted. To me, that's just a hideous camaro knock-off. To change the iconic vette lights is almost heretical! I know this sentiment is shared by many current C6 owners. Oh well, the new Vipers look sick!

I'd prefer C6 with C5 front end. I've always liked pop-up headlights but overall the C6 looks amazing.

C7 rear end looks bad, rest of the car ok. Curious to see the powertrain and suspension options.

Remember, when the C6 first came out lots of people at first said they preferred the look of the C5.  Maybe this will just take some getting used to as well?

I hope so! Perhaps we're all just spoiled with how gorgeous the C6Z06 looked.

When the C6 came out, it looked like a logical progression of the car, this car looks like a mishmash of 5 different cars and the lines are all over the place. And those taillights....ugh.

Do not like rear. Exactly like you said. The rear needs to be more feminine. It's been said that the best car desgins mix masculine and feminine cues. The should add a rear defuser, keep the lights round, and bodywork "humped" over each light. The rear backlight should taper down, the rear wheelwells should flare out, with ovoid brake intakes on the inside "haunches".
The side scoop should be more prominent, like the F40's, but still keep the Corvette look.
This should be more of "3 arc" design.

The front I like.

**Edit, it wasn't until a few months ago I noticed a several artists renders of the upcoming Ferrari F70, that I wondered "why can't the Corvette have more 'organic' cues, yet still be aggressive?"

for instance, I mentioned the wheel flare and side scoop, if the upcoming C7 ZR1 had a side scoop like this


it would be awesome...yet look at the "arc" over the wheels, of course this is a mid engine car, so the arc will be tighter, so for the Corvette it needs to be drawn out,

Now look at this model...look at the vents, look how organic they are, imagine that on the C7's hood and on the rear huanches.

I love vettes, the C6 zr1 was def my favorite car ever... but the new c7 is eh.. weird.. they are trying to steal euro deisgn and failing.. with the c6 they did it kinda... also a little bit of skyline gtr in its design

The front looks ferrarish but not at all.. the rear is ugly..

I just care about its performance in the end though

Those that say it looks camaroish maybe but the camaro actually looks good this looks like crap in my opinion.. too much going on... no flow or fluidity

It's animation, so it's all speculative. So, we really don't know how it will look, other than the exhaust design.

The US cant build cars for shit, and that is specially true of sports cars.

Majority of fastest production-car lap times are from domestics.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N%C3%BCrburgring_Nordschleife_lap_times

And they are much cheaper than most foreign competitors.

Domestic = best combination or performance, price and styling.  GTR fails in the styling component.

The GT-R had a sort of "attractive ugliness" about it, call it "functional ugliness",  kinds like a Vulture's bald head may look ugly, but it serves a function. I believe the GT-R has a CD of .29 or lower.
It has the look of being chiselled out of rock or ice---hacks here and there.

The GT-R looks impressive but I prefer the R33 myself for looks.

I am a huge car guy. I hate fanboy-ness.

Yes the US built pretty shitty cars for a time.. but recent 10 years there's been improvement.

The best cars have been the mustang and corvette for what it's worth.. the last few corvettes were spectacular.

The rest of the regular family/econo cars suck ass compared to euro and jap offerings.. but then jap cars kinda sucked at one point too...

Americans are learning.. and they are applying it well. The vette is an amazing car and it's just lame to cite it as a prime example of crappy american cars... seriously.

The LS v8 small blocks are awesome... chevy small blocks period are awesome...

Yes euro cars are awesome, over designed, precise, always bringing sometihng new to the table but also very expensive.

Jap cars well.. they brought alot with small investments in increments and brining alot more for the cost of others... ultimately surpassing others in quality nad performance
