I'm going to trust the gt5 version over those other ones. Not saying that its 100% certain that it will have round tail lights, but those mules do have round taillights and they have camo over them, so if they are fake versions of the tail lights than why camo them?

So all in all I'm willing to bet the real car does have round tail lights.

Maybe the camo is there to make one think the C7 Corvette has round tail lights?

True could be possible.

This just has me shaking my head. Last gen, they went super conservative with a (barely) evolutionary design and defended it as "iconic" when people complained it hadn't come far enough. Fine, ok, if that works it works.

But what defense will they offer for ripping of Nissan's design language? It sure isn't Iconic, at least not for Chevy!

Anything without a clamshell split rear window at this point is just stupid. They could sell one to every Corvette owner in existence past and present if they had done the right thing. ****ing morons. They deserve what they get from this.

quoted for truth, if they made that GTR looking car but had the split rear window, everyone would have forgave them over the rest of the car.

Not seen this rendering before (it's from a GM video, according to the link) but I can only hope the C7 looks this good!

I agree. The car is quite attractive minus the rear end! Chevy must keep the vette completely different looking then the rest of the line. This rear end just screams camaro! It needs round tail lights. However, i imagine if this rendering makes production, it will do well. There is much enthusiasm about this styling among the vette croud.

Mix of ferarri and the new viper on the front, gtr lines on the body, and a fat square *** that comes from a drunk night with the camaro. How original!!! I like corvettes and im all about being modern but this just hit so many wrong nails IMO

Nope. Looks great. Just because something isn't unique doesn't mean it can't look awesome!
