Corvette StingRay - Simply put, the best Super Car - bar none!!! Let me explain. Ferrari, Lambo, Bugatti, Porsche, McLaren, etc... these cars are top notch, but at the most lucrative price. We all want those cars but most people can't afford it without living in them. Now look at Corvette, a Chevy-from GM in America- things are changing, the technology, performance, and now the design (exterior & interior). Since the first StingRay, Corvette has never lacked in brute power, which is good, this is a true Corvette insignia. Take the ZR1, the most powerful Corvette ever. Out-running Porsche & the new Viper and running with Lambo"s & Ferrari's. Think about it, Chevy could have made the ZR1 to out perform them, so why not? Strategy! Corvette is putting America's Super Car together meticulously, little by little until the Corvette is the world standard for the Super Car- The best in technology, the best in performance, the best in design (exterior & interior), and the most noteworthy factor, at a price affordable to the consumer-The American Dream! Look at the record, Corvette just keeps on improving its supercar at an affordable price. Only Corvette could set such a lofty benchmark and achieve it. Those supercars across the pond wouldn't dare put into action or even think about what Corvette is achieving. Corvette does this and still produces a profit. Wow! Last piece of evidence. If the ZR1 is any indication of how the C7 generation will end in about 10 years, Why spend 2 million for a Bugatti when in a little while, Corvette will set the standard? Long live the King!!!

Fantastic! Cannot get enough of this car. Such a radical change in every area from the previous vehicle. Can't wait for the leading mags to evaluate it. I just love the whole thing! As Chief of vehicle design Ed Welborn said man this car is cool!!!!

Am a fat kid (67) who always has and always will love cake--and C7 Corvettes! Make my slice of cake (C7) with torch red icing and torch red filling inside! Just the sexy lines of the C7 will turn heads-add the right color combinations and the drooling starts! I read somewhere in this website that the older crowd will not like the C7 design-whoever said that-get a life! I like the C7 like I like all previous Vetts. Have fun in your life, no matter what age you are!

Being a current C-6 owner not crazy about the rear, it's camaro lights, rear-end is too busy, the C-4 dash looks like lots of plastic and those cheap Video Screen gauges are not professional, you don't see Porche doing cheap video gauges! With that said front and side look great and let's hope the new Vette is more re-fined and little quieter.

I may be part of the, previously mentioned, "Old guard," turning 70 this year, but I do drive my present 2010 Corvette grand Sport hard on the track, drag strip and street.
The looks alone will make me a C7 buyer in the second model year.
As far as the Camaro taillight thing goes; I don't know how many different shapes you could have before your going to have one that looks like someone else's. Aside from that I find them very unique. After all how much more unique can they get than their use of indirect led lighting.

Best looking car I've ever seen!

The old guard won't like it, but the current demographic, who bought their last new Vette a few years ago is not the target market !

I've loved Corvettes ever since I could say the name. There have been a couple in my driveway over the years,but not since the 90's. I've got to get me one of these. Bravo Chevrolet.

Overall the car is nice and well done. I wanted more reach in the design. Think 62 to 63. I anticipated the show car sideswipe or better and you gave us a watered down version. Not a hater but not a lover.

Since when does the Corvette take styling cues from the Camaro? I'm talking about the taillights. Looks like the designer ran out of ideas and said, "Lets slap a pair of taillights from the Camaro back there and be done with it." Like the edginess of the C7. Front spoiler and cooling ducts on the rear quarter panels were a surprise that I like. Seat side bolsters may actually be functional. Front and side profiles are a thumbs up. Rear view is a start over and work until you get the facia and taillights right.

Disappointed... especially in the rear end. Look reminds me a bit of the Toyota Supra's from the mid 1990's... doesn't have the elegant lines that make Corvette a classic... and certainly not worthy of GM bringing the Stingray name back from the dead after 37 years!

The rear end leaves me very disappointed. If to look like Junior, the Camero, I would have paid less. To me, I will get used to all the other designer changes, though the 240z side window leaves me wondering. I will go to my grave in discust with GM's designers choice of the rear of the 2014 C7.

Change is good, but only if it makes it better.
Love the engine and the bow and stern. Prefer the profile of the C6.
