Just saw a 2014 Corvette on the road. Meh.

Same color as the one pictured here, and I pretty much just got this view of it at the stop light. Maybe a different color and angle might improve my feeling, but what I saw just isn't impressing me all that much. Back end looks like a modified Camaro. Weird, busy angles everywhere else.





Here's a 2014 Camaro for comparison:

1. I like it.

Maybe in black rather than yellow, though.

[bluesbassman]

2. That's cool. Everybody has different views on aesthetics.

The more I look at it the more I think the tail lights are what's turning me off. Kind of Batmobile-ish.

But hey, one man's Batmobile is another man's 1955 Lincoln Futura.

3. Kazunori Yamauchi liked it, I believe

[A HERETIC I AM]

5. Looks like that was shot at Willow Springs, CA.

A stones throw from Edwards AFB, Mojave and right up the road from Palmdale/Lancaster

I think I still like the looks of a C-6 however.

In this blue;



I had a '92 C-4. Lot's of fun to drive, that's for sure.

This one, in fact;

4. The 2014 Corvette was revealed long before the 2014 Camaro.

I think it looks great on the 'vette. Not so great on the Camaro.

I'm planning on getting a 2016 Corvette. That will be the first 'improvement' year for the 7th Generation.

6. Shouldn't there be a law against making sports cars any color but red or black?

[bluesbassman]

7. I dunno, blue worked pretty well here...

[Brother Buzz]

12. Green works for me

[Locut0s]

8. I'll never own any of these, so why not wish really big?...

[MrScorpio]

9. Personally, I'm jonesin' for the new Caddy ATS Coupe...

This is just my style.

[RebelOne]

13. Yes, I'll take that over a Corvette.

I have owned two Cadillacs, but now drive a Ford Taurus because I cannot afford a Cadillac.

[Throd]

10. It's nice, but I'd rather have a '67.

[Gravitycollapse]

11. It's a very divisive design. I don't know how I feel. But it's suppose to be a great driver's car.

The best performing corvette platform ever. And it's supposedly the first one to really be able to compete with the like's of 911s and such.

14. Car design goes back and forth between angular and curvilinear, over and over.

Bill Mitchell, chief of design at GM, said something to that effect, but I can't find the exact quote. This is Corvette going from curvy to angular.

Here he is with a couple of concept Corvettes.
