What a disappointment. It looks too much like the C6 to me. I was really hoping they would ditch the open front grill. That just looks silly to me, like a smiling Mazda.

Disappointment is a good way of describing it.

After the C6 being so close the C5, I was really hoping for more from the C7, especially after seeing the concept GM showed at the auto shows a couple of years ago.

A C6 front end with a Camaro tail section does not show much imagination on GM's part.

Hopefully the final product will be different when actually released for purchase, with an excellent interior and more importantly excellent seats.

I'd like to see the base version as I'm not going to be buying a ZR1. A C7 possibly...but not a ZR1.

There are fully two years to go before C7 hits the showroom if 2014 is launch time, and the C6 speculation was rampant right up to a month or so before the unveiling when a trucker left one unveiled on his rig and someone got real live snapshots. A lot could happen in two years.

The picture is a very well-executed rendering that I think was done independent of GM for the sole purpose of fueling the debate. As for me ... I don't like the rear window at all. The current teardrop glas is aerodynamic and looks very sharp. This ersatz C7 looks like its back glass came off a '65 Charger. The hood vents suck to the extreme, as do Camaro tailights. The wingie thingie? ... more Camaro retro-barf.

It has some nice points, like the sculptured lines of the sides (excepting the over-angled cove vent) and the ZO6ish side vents, but as a whole, it looks garish and loosely defined.

I always liked the C4 because the whole car looks completely and smoothly integrated, like a fighter plane. If they have to go retro, see what a updated C4 could look like. I'd rather have something all new, though, like they did in '63 and '84. A totally new car.

But that's just me ...

I like the lines, might even be better looking than the C6 Z06. But, I wonder about those taillights. Are they a signal we're being messed with? In this case, I hope so, since there is nothing iconic about those taillights.

Otherwise, a great looking car.

[Bioscache2]

I like it alot. Maybe the taillights will get some getting used to, but overall the car works very well. I like the hard edges, like a fighter plane. Very cool.

I really doubt that two years out that this is the final design. That being said, I could live w/ the concept (I like sharp lines, not rounded ones that have been the design du jour for the last three iterations) except for the rear end.

Time will tell.

I've seen worse.

Now... picture that car blinged up with lambo doors, a double-whale tail, adhesive scoops and faux vents all over it... THERE! You've seen worse too.

Dont like the square tail lights....

In 2014 my 92 ZR-1 will still be in my garage! It will be 3 more years until I have an "Antique Vehicle License Plate" on it. Maybe by 2017 the "Obamanation Depression" will be over and I will drive my "Antique Vette" in a local 4th of July parade in my hometown to celebrate.

I will never own a CaddyMaroVette -- no way NEVER!

The more I look at it the more I think it looks like a 4th generation Camaro (93-02) with Corvette styling hints. So, I hope this isn't it.

If it is, I guess you can go buy your new C6 now.

[NORTY]

GM is secretly praising Jalopnick for making the C7 have some media buzz. Lately, there's been nothing to talk about. Whether this is it or not, we're speculating. I'd like to see the interior. (Oh yeah, I sure hope it doesn't look like a friggen C4!)

It looks like the rendering has rear side windows. It also has C-posts. I wonder if these are for rollover protection? The mirror housings I figured would be "Camaroesque" but these aren't. (These are worse.)
I really don't care what the outside looks like (as long as it doesn't look like a pregnant torpedo like a C4.)

Amazing how jalopnick thinks they've got the ZR1 already when it's likely GM doesn't...

Yeah. A 2013 GS convertible is looking more like a player right now!
