You're not alone.  A new Vette styled like the worst looking Vettes ever made is not cool.

The only styling touches that look nice are the ones lifted from ferrari, the 550 in particular.

Here GM, just copy this.

ohh yea, the rear quarter looks like shit, just like it does on the camaro with that stupid side duct and overstyled "hunch".

I don't see Ferrari in that at all.  I see this and only this:

Funny, i never thought of that(as far as the side vents go).

I did however see that design in the front area, which is what i don't like about it. It does remind of the the vette you posted. For me, however, that isn't a good thing since i dislike the style of those 70 vettes.

As far as I'm concerned, they're the ugliest Vettes ever made.

Damn, no love for the C3? :huh: I know the later ones were pitiful performance-wise, but they're much nicer looking than the C4

I don't like it at all.

I like it, but it's a bit too retro, isn't it? 

You know, I really should buy a C4 and fully recondition it, giving it shiny new paint (all C4s you see have very dull paint, making them looks much older than they are) and mod it a bit.  They are probably my favorite.

My coworker had a showroom condition C4 Vette he used to bring to work every so often. God knows what ridiculous price he ended up selling it for. It was nice, but not as nice as the C3 a friend's mom from HS once had (still has?): sparkling metallic burgundy paint, slick mesh deep-dish rimz with perfect offset, and a re-upholstered tan leather interior. And I guess it didn't hurt that not only was my friend hot, her mom was a total MILF :wub:

So yeah, that's what this car reminds me of.

I love C3s. I know I'm going to sound crazy here, but I like them better than C2s.

Really though, I think all generations of 'Vettes look great.

I like the (pre plastic bumper) C3s also. But styling the C7 after them would not be wise.

That reminds me of the pecker car Peter bought one time.

That was the "star" of Corvette Summer. Wasn't it a college project car or something like that? I also remember it being right hand drive.

I like it better than the generic styling of the C6, and it way trumps the C5 and C4.

I think it'd take a drumming because of the late-to-the party retro look however.

The only Corvette that truly fascinates me, design-wise, is the C2.  (In particular, the 1963 split window coupes.) 

The C3-inspired concept is surprisingly good-looking, though.
