Its the liscence plate bracket for the C7, pretty thoughtful and it gives it a quasi C3 look to the front end.

Such a good idea. Still need to see the what they're like when moving, but these cars are looking pretty **** good from what I've seen so far.

Yeah at this point I'm sold on this car. I can easily see alot I'd like changed but that's just the way I am. But for a box stock car I would have one in a minute if I could afford one. Kudos to Chevy for that plate bracket. It looks great!

Huge improvement over the C6, which were on the very bottom. Which made them about a foot off the ground and virtually invisible to anyone in another car.

Hmmm, still a bit "meh" on the design. Front looks basically good and identifyably a Corvette whereas the middle and greenhouse in particular is generic sports/supercar circa 2010. The back is still a blocky and ungainly jumble of rather random bits loosely agglomerated together. Exciting and dramatic perhaps, if those are your sole criteria, but certainly not a cohesive, unified and beautiful design.

I recently read on a Corvette forum that dealers must sell at least four '13s to qualify for ordering the '14s. Transalation: the '14's will be scarce and over priced which can be a good thing. The guinea pigs can deal with ADMs and usual recalls of first MY productions.

It pisses me off that the big 3 have the nerve to charge ADMs. I personally feel it's class warfare. Cars like the Corvette and GT500 are supposed to be the blue collar alternative to high end imports. I'm still bitter about the pre ordered GT500 I put a deposit on only to be told by the dealer that they wanted another 25k above MSRP. Needless to say I'll never do business with that dealer again, old I'm off my soapbox.

The '13s are being sold at invoice less a $2K factory rebate and less a $3K loyalty rebate for present Corvette owners. Eventually the C7 will be on the same boat.

i think the loyal customer rebate works for anybody that currently owns a 2000 or newer gm vehicle. at least thats what they told me when i bought my camaro.

"... $3,000 Corvette Owner Loyalty Rebate requires current ownership of a Corvette, qualifications exist..."

It's those pesky dealerships, as I am sure you know. By the way, I have seen plenty of other manufacturers offering highly desirable cars with dealers charging over MSRP.

I watched the Jay Leno vidio, the C7 interior and exterior are very interesting. I will save my opinion of the new changes when I look at one up close.

The more I see it the less I like it. I think the front end is cool but the rear just seems off to me.
