Please GM Gods, make C7 smaller / lighter, with cool high-HP / high-efficiency powerplants [eg- something other than a OHV small block is really OK. The world is ready for Corvette leadership with a 'compound-energy recovery-turbo-TDI-hybrid-whatever / as-long-as-the-thing-goes-as-fast-as-it-looks-and-at-the-end-of-the-run-I-don't-have-to-mortgage-my-soul-for-gas-$$ / kick-ass / MOTOR'!].
PS- You all know that C6 is already fuel-efficient enough to escape the Guzzler Tax, right?
That is awful looks like a cadilac. If that is the C7 I will keep my C6 Z06 until the C8 comes out..

I'd have to agree with Tommy, that thing looks like a caddy, if they took out the tailights above the front fender flares it would look a lot more bad-ass! On a scale of 1-10 I would rate it based on this pic a 3 at best, the rear end looks rounded off! WTF?! Are we going back to the C4's and 5's?!

Corvette ZR1 officially set a \\lap time of 7:26.4 on the Nurburgring, beating the Nissan GT-R by 3 seconds. The Nissan GT-R Spec-V set a time of 7:25 (unofficial, set by bystanders). THE WAR IS OVER! CORVETTE IS THE VICTOR!!!

Don't forget carisme, the V-Spec is still in development. They can pull out all the stops just to surpass the ZR1. But as of now the ZR1 is the Lord of the Ring!

The roofline looks like a GT-R .The front is like a Caddy or Buick....no thanks. Make it the XLR-V.
--- JerryL from Miami on 06.27.08 at 5:07pm
Hmm, well change the front.. Give it C6 like headlights... I like the rear end. Has the same characters as the C3 and Stingrays. I would love to see a retro Stingray, though!

Please GM Fix this, Put back pop up headlights!. and make this more corvette-like. This Looks Like A Bigger Camaro!? sorta.
--- Jose R Lopez from Miami,FL on 06.28.08 at 10:42pm
how to put this simply?
...hideous
what is with those headlights? and what is up with the intakes under the headlights? know what lets make this real easy what is up with that whole front end. if i wanted to look at a boxy looking car i would look at a caddy.
@jose: they probably wont put in pop up headlights again seeing as it was the racing teams that got them to take them out for better aero dynamics.

They need to keep the C6 around for at least through 2015. It is such a good looking car then can tweek it to look better like they did with the C4. They are getting to jumpy with the C7 and not taking their time with developing the C6.
--- Alex from Wayne America on 06.30.08 at 11:00am
Never,ever bring back the pop up lights !! They add weight just where you don't want it, and they hurt the aero package.
