So this should be considered as American version of F12 Berlinetta? They even tried to make similar front lights

 

You nailed it. They are trying too hard with too many different design elements. Take the roof for example: why is there exposed carbon fiber, red paint, and a black A-pillar? Too many colors and segments too close together. If you look at the E92 M3, the whole roof is exposed carbon and the window frames are body color all the way along the side. It gives the car some continuity and connects the front to the rear.

It's a shame because the C6 has so few design elements that the car is bold. It relies on its proportions, short overhangs, and overall width to look badass on the road. It's really sad because this car has a great silhouette but there are too many "bling" pieces on it for me to like it.

 

 

Whats so funny about it? I think this car looks great...the headlights look totally different

 

For 60k this is the bargain of the century, I would have like to seen a better rear design but this is a huge leap forward for GM, kudos I say!

 

True, Corvette looks amazing.. its even better in person. And remember this is just a base model... I can only imagine how the z06 will look like)

And this *ag Milanno is just an arrogant prick....

 

I understand you, but you also must understand me. European designers have one design language, American designers have other. Now Americans are trying to mix those two languages. Personally I dont like that. I dont like that Vette is trying to be American F12. I wanted to see Vette that have elements from past models designed in contemporary American language. I hope you get my point.

Look at the beauty posted on photo below. Its pity that they couldnt recognize very valuable lines in their past cars & incorporate them in new one. Thats why Ferrari & other European car makers are so desirable. Its hard to take something from past & make it like new, but that is the right way to make recognizable & iconic cars.

 

Though some of us may not be happy with the latest iteration of the beloved Corvette with the aftermarket support such as bodykits, performance upgrades and wheel/tire combinations that are sure to develope the possibilities are endles!!
