2014 C7 Chevrolet Corvette - Page 10 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Vertically/longitudinally-oriented headlights, played out by now?

Slightly smiley front inlet would be preferable to the slightly frowny scowl (looks rather like a catfish or whale shark).

Overall not bad, but looks too much like an amalgam of other cars (599, Camaro).

Surely there won't be 2-tone mirrors...

C2 and C3 Corvettes looked like nothing else when they came out (other than GM styling exercises). These renderings make the C7 styling look derivative.

Looking forward to seeing the real thing!

Most supercars (and sport cars) are starting to look the same. Every time I seen that horrendous Porsche Panamera I think they just took the front of the C6 Vette, gave it diabetes and put it on the front.

I agree.. It's neat how people feel about their cars.. A lot of people think our 86's are ugly, I happen to love the look of our cars.. I agree the rear end of that car is ugly.. But did you click on the link and go to the Vette forum.. Those guys are having orgasims over there lol..

I guess it depends on the passion you have for your cars.. Wonder if we will be the same when a new 86 comes out redesigned

OrbitalEllipses · 01-11-2013, 04:19 PM

If it doesn't have 4 round taillights, I don't want it.

DIG1992 · 01-11-2013, 11:53 PM

They steal the headlights off the viper lol.. That's what the pic in the trailer looks like

Gixxersixxerman · 01-12-2013, 03:16 AM

Idk look to much like the same designer to me lol at least it looks better then the rear

ZDan · 01-12-2013, 06:30 AM

Too scowly, entirely too close to the Viper front end.
Not bad, though. It looks like the Corvette and the Viper manage to keep the front end reasonably low. Are they just not selling them in Europe where uber-ridiculous "pedestrian impact" laws are forcing cars to have high, bluff front ends?

JayNutter · 01-12-2013, 02:43 PM

I like the new look. IMHO I think most of the supercars are starting to look the same anyways.
