Visually I don't like it but mechanically I'm sure I'd have no problem loving it.
- Roof needs to be body color.
- Vents should be body color unless they're carbon fiber
- I hate hate hate the rear end. I hate the tail lights and the trim around them. I hate the mess of black trim taking up half the rear end. I think the quad-tip exhaust takes up too much space and stands out too much. IMO, 2 center outlets would've looked better.
- Ditch the chrome strip in the grille
- Offer blacked out or body colored headlight housings.
I also hate red
The tan leather interior does look quite nice, though, and I'm sure the car will be amazing mechanically and performance wise.

I have owned a couple vettes in the past. a C3, and C4.
I know that I am speaking to the enemy, but the vette is a GREAT car for the price. The interiors were crap, and the chassis flexed. The only REAL problem I have had with vettes is that typically middle aged guys or A-holes tend to buy them.
When I was in highschool, driving my corolla, my buddies would pull up next to a middle aged guy in a vette and my friends would motion to the man to roll down his window... They would then say "sorry bout your small *****", and we'd all crack up as the guy would always roast his tires leaving the scene.
That being said. I am loving the new C7... looks great, and for the price, it will roast 95% of what's on the road. The next 4% can be left behind with pretty inexpensive upgrades.
So far, the only thing I dislike about this car is it's tail lights. It looks like their design studio ran out of time and said "crap.... Just copy the Camaro and turn it in."
It will be a nice performer.

I always bashed on vette drivers for the same reason... until I got behind the wheel of a C5 z06. I was hooked from that moment on. There's something about the raw feel of RWD with good power. I still avoid telling most people what I drive because of the stigma, but for auto-x I never had as much fun in my evo as I had in my first year driving the vette. Old man car be damned, those of us who use it for what it was intended get a hundred smiles a minute.
