2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

[Unknownvr4]

how can anyone love a car that looks like it has braces?

Yea, I think more people don't like it than do..

If you honestly believe that more people don't like it than do, then you obviously have your eyes closed. Go look around the comments on Motortrend, Autoweek, Jalopnik, the Corvette forums, etc and it's pretty obvious who is in the majority.

Again, you don't have to like it, but let's not kid ourselves by saying those that don't like it are in the majority. That's like saying the majority of enthusiasts like the 3S platform which couldn't be further from the truth.

DailyTech - Next Generation Chevrolet "C7" Corvette Stingray Unveiled in Detroit

Overwhelmingly positive reviews with a few splashes of trolling from people saying it resembles a 15 y/o Tiburon.

it is amazing what government funding can do for your marketing campaign.

[J-Groove]

I like it a lot.

Only thing that I'm not digging is the taillights. I will have to see one in person to make my final judgement.

Also, I think the A pillars and roof would look a lot better body colored. I'm sure that will be an option.

When the last gen viper was being designed they polled the owners to see what design ideas they should keep, because the vast majority of current Viper owners are past Viper owners. Same goes with new Vettes (except the average vette owner is 20-30 years older). Buddy of mine's family bought a new vette every generation since the C1 when they were young, they chose not to buy a C6. Said the design was getting too much caddy snowplow/Ford Focus influence with all the sharp edges.

Other than that, I got no evidence to say how much I still think it's ugly. Their throwing around of once legendary names on everything they make also pisses me off. If it pisses you off so much that I think it's ugly, oh well. Polls don't count.....nobody asked me for my opinion.

it's a corvette. the positive response isn't from people with aesthetic taste. it's from nutswingers who would call it beautiful if they slapped the word "corvette" on a pontiac aztek.

imho, the c6 has a LOT better design cues in many areas. only thing i really consider about the c7 as a marked improvement is the headlights and maybe some of the interior cues.

I have no problem with your opinion. I was contesting the whole "people that like this car are in the minority, not me" sentiment being passed around by others. The majority of people, and not just previous Corvette owners, like this new design.

To help relate, I HATE the new Camaro, but I know the majority of people happen to like it. I also know the majority of people have poor taste in cars.
