I had seen a Silver one almost 2 months ago. IDk, that rear end still doesn't do it for me. Even in person, it looks out of place. The front though looks great, love the new headlights with the LED strip.

It's much better in person but I still find it horribly ugly, especially the rear.

I wonder how many actually don't like it and how many don't like it because they're trying to be cool and against other opinions

I think it's gorgeous, the rear end is my favorite out of all corvettes and the interior is much nicer than the outgoing c6's. White with red interior would be my choice, it's a great looking car that will make my next car choice a hard one. Especially with other cars that will be coming out (15 cobra, m4, c63?)

I'm still unsure if I should love or hate the 2015? :shrug:

I saw a red a few months back when it was 2013, and wow it was breaking necks at the light. C7 was fueling up for gas and everyone just kept glancing over. All the newer model cars do not like anything on the road at all. I can imagine when the new mustang hits the streets.

I got a chance to drive one tonite and it was f'n AWESOME. I have driven the C6 enough to do a fair comparison.

Interior: Not even close the C7 is night and day better EXCEPT for 1 thing. The seats are too narrow for my baby bearing hips arse! The C6 fits me better. The quality of the seats are much better in the C7, they just need to be 2-3 inches wider to fit me better. Its definitely more snug overall in there as well. My head was close to the roof. Mind you I am 6'5. My shoulders were right against the door but I am 270lbs, wear a 52L sport coat so I am too broad chested as well.

Driving impression: The C7 feel light and nimble where as the C6 feels raw in comparison. You can EASILY drive the C7 as a daily driver. The C6 has a rumble to it were as the C7 is civilized till you juice it. This was one of the better driving cars I EVER drove.

I can't wait to drive it again in the spring!

Your REALLY bitching about the roominess being 6'5" and 270? LMFAO!!:lol1:
So for a guy 5'10" 170 it would be Fricken PERFECT then? :rockon:

I fit great in the C6 so YES I am slightly bitching. It SUCKS being this tall, I have THE worst time fitting into cars/clothes etc. I would prefer to be 6'1 at most !!

The owner of the car is 6ft 210ish and even he made a comment about the cockpit being much tighter so it wasn't just me. So if your 5'10 170 then the car should fit you great!

Saw one myself this weekend and they do look pretty nice. Exotic looking from behind. I'm still not sure I like the back end but overall it looks unique and very nice.

I really want to drive one. That might push me over the edge.
