I really like the new 'vette.

It has really grown quickly on me, although I still don't really like the vents on the rear quaterpanel area.

Stop being a woman. The vents are functional, so they're badass.

Corvette FTW!!

Looks much better with the c6 lights in my opinion.

I am really happy with the path chevrolette is going with the corvette, with the C5 it used to be the typical car, a fat old man would buy or a redneck woman. But it has become more sporty with the shorter wheel base, and sharper lines.

those C6 lights dont work in my opinion... the rest of the car is too angular for that, the C6 had softer edges the C7 does.

I dunno, man. The C6 isn't that soft looking. There are just flat and smooth body panels yet it has some strong creases.

If the C6 didn't have those stupid headlights, it'd be a good looking car.

From the back, I like it.

I agree.

It's just a "cheap" car all around. The mechanical engineering in it is marvelous but everything surrounding it, the sheet metal and plastic just scream, "Cheap!"

I get that feeling from every Chevy, though.

Yeah, the Corvette has always been great for the engineering but was never a true "hey! Look at that!" and the interior was just flat terrible for what you paid for it.

I'm glad they addressed the interior problem and made it at least look like it should be belong at the top of their lineup.

The Chevy Cruze has actually stepped it up as well, that's a right smart good looking car all around.

Sure do, Mr Hat.

GM owns Buick, Cadillac, etc so itd be safe to assume they could at least make an appealing interior with nice materials yet still offer it at the unbelievable price they do.

While not direct class competitors the M3 and C63 have nicer interiors and are offered for nearly the same MSRP.

Why cant GM put somethin with an interior design to rival those two?

considering the CTS-V and the corvette cost pretty much the same.. share the same engine, transmission, and suspension.. they should be able to have an interior that is as nice as cadillacs.
