    Default Tomorrow we’ll show you the C7 Corvette (can't say if its real or BS but here goes)

    Tomorrow we’ll show you the C7 Corvette

    The C7 Corvette — the seventh generation of General Motors' iconic super car — is set to be unveiled 14 months from now at the 2013 Detroit AutoShow. Doesn't that seem like a totally unacceptable timeframe? We think so.

    So, instead of waiting, we're just going to show you the 2014 Corvette a bit early — like, say, tomorrow.

    This week, unbeknown to General Motors, we saw the next-generation Corvette completely uncovered. That's right — no camouflage, no car cover, no anything to keep us from seeing every crease, every line, and every vent — and tomorrow at noon we're going to show you exactly what it looks like. We think you'll find it's nothing like what's been speculated by the buff books and blogs so far.

    You may even like it.

    Guys..I'm just passing this along on the chance it might be real.

    I imagine GM will rape and pillage jalopnik for the early showing of the C7 but if its real..I thought you'd like to know about it and capture the photo for the rest of us who might miss the time that its up.

    Somehow I think GM will crucify jalopnik so be on the look out around noon tomorrow ..and I dont' know what time zone either..

    If you could capture and pm the rest of us the photos if you catch it before it goes down..that would be greatly appreciated..

    Somehow...I think GM's going to relish the publicity.

    I'm not too crazy about the "Camaro" style taillights....

    The design is too "busy," with too many separate design elements. That is not an "elegant" design despite having a a nice profile. The base model may be way better looking - if that is the C7.
    There are times for thinking, and times for acting, but the art is in the balance

    If this turns out to be true I think it's pretty cool so far. As we have seen from the past, "new" is hard for many.

    Today Jalopnik posted renderings of what they think the next-gen Corvette will look like. We appreciate their enthusiasm but you'll have to wait a little longer to see what the next Corvette will actually look like.

    I think they've been snookered by misinformation. No way they go with Camaro-style taillights (only the C4 ZR-1 had squared taillights and maybe the very last years of the C4 in general). The logo gets tweaked in every generation and the one used in the render looks like a C5 logo without the surrounding ring... Didn't Dave Hill say they stuck with the bubble rear glass in the C6 because it was more aerodynamic than anything else, including the notchback used in the C5 Z06 and flat glass hatches like the one seen here? Looks like a GT-R rear-ended a C6.

    I think it's a head-fake.

    I wouldn't call it dramatically different. Maybe it'll look better in the flesh

    Nice but I'm not sure about the tail lights. Trying to imagine what it would look like if it wasn't a ZR1. A C6 with a little edge?
    I'll have to wait until real photos (and spec's) are released before getting excited.
