Just watched the live reveal. The C7 Stingray looks awesome.
Note to GM: Way to go and let the corporate cheesed*cks steal the spotlight. The car is the star - not a stuffed suit.

Overall I like it, there are of course a few quicky things that Im not crazy about but overall thumbs up... The numbers are pretty damn impressive too.
And Im glad there was a significant effort put into the interior

Rear end is awuful. Definitely looks cleaner in silver than that red with black wheels. And I like red.
Nice, but not blown away. Looks like......well, a Vette. Original mock ups had it looking much more European, while still sticking to traditional Corvette styling cues. It was a much cleaner, sexier rendering. This is a little to busy for me. What i think is a moot point anyway, cause they'll still sell 25-35,000 units of this thing in it's first year out.
Did i say the rear end is awful? Which is unfortunate cause that's likely most will ever see.

Yep, it is a fine piece of engineering, but sadly like all modern sports or super-cars unless it has a low slug engine, like a flat 4/6/8, "government/safety" regulations have and are just spoiling designs...
It is bulk rather than being sleek, heavy looking rather than a pedigree look of a thoroughbred.
From the ''B Pillar'' back it is very messy and not clean, 'why' this guillotined rear end job.?
Still a great wheels..
