2014 Chevrolet Corvette [UPDATED]

I see what ur saying. But going a different direction with the exhaust exit was a good move. The C5 & C6 both already had that set up, so a new set up is a breathe of fresh air.

I agree, everyone wants the circle tail lights and gap in the exhaust. You keep that you basically have another C5-C6 rear end. If they did that a lot of people would have *****ed that it's the same car. Gotta keep the design changing. I like it a lot and it's a breath of fresh air from the typical Corvette design that you've seen the last 10 years. The new Malibu has the four squarish rear tail lights as well so maybe Chevy is going this route on all of their cars from here on out, ala, the new front grille that a lot of Fords share, who knows.

As for the gap in the exhaust, putting that back doesn't get you the C5-C6, I mean I am perfectly fine with everything else. I think it looks beautiful the way it is even with the squared taillights. I mean this car is different enough in almost every aspect that putting that gap int he quad exhaust will not make it regress back to looking like the C5-C6 at all.

Honestly with the taillights, I see where everyone is coming from. It doesn't have to be the same out-dated circle taillights, it can be updated. I mean look at the GTR rear, it looks nice w/o being outdated. Look at Ferrari? Not syaing copy those but a slight update and you get to keep what makes the car more "traditional". The circle tails has been Corvettes signature since the 60's? So i can understand why people would love to see Chevy keep that for nostalgia's sake.
 
Don't see the SLS grill but to be fair, the SLS is based on the 300SL which also came out in 1954.
 
I meant Chevy used the design of the 54 Corvette's front grille for this new C7, not Mercedes taking the 54 Vette design for the SLS.

I know what you meant, was just saying the 300SL came out the same year so it isn't necessarily which car came out first and who copied who. I still don't see the SLS/300SL grill on the C7.

That exhaust? That doesn't sound good to me and I'm an american muscle guy :lol

It sound like a lawn mower cranking up. Maybe I'll have to hear it with some revs


The car has a little too much going on with it, but I like it.

I wouldn't judge it based on that video, probably taken with a cell phone camera. Vette's usually have butterfly valve exhaust systems so at idle it won't sound nearly as mean.
