Why because it looks like a Honda from the rear?

I personally like it. People need to give it some time and wait for the full details to come out. I give GM credit for going after a refresh. It demonstrates investment and commitment. People need to chill out. There will be many future 2014 owners that like this styling better, and I'm ok with that. Do people really think this car styling is never going to change? C'mon already!

Wow, it went from the most aggressive looking sports car on the road to 'schooled by a Jag' on national television. Jeez...that was disappointing. Glad I got the 2011!

A ZL1 sitting beside that Jag would go unnoticed and that's coming from a ZL1 owner.

That thing is smoke'n hot.

Front grill is cool. Rear bumper and lights not so much. Rear license plate space looks like its a cut our for Europe size plates.

I think you nailed it.

From a distance it does kinda look like the front end of one of the newer mustangs with that smashed down front grill.

I like it.
That's true; before the C7 was revealed there was an artist's rendering approved by Chevy that appeared in Car and Driver that most people on the Corvette forums said was hideous. The rendering proved accurate, though in person the car looked much better and everyone was relieved except for one major complaint: the taillights. Now I think everyone is used to them. History is repeating.

I prefer the look of my 2012 myself.

That hood, as many have stated is just terrible with that extractor. The vent looks too small compared to rest of the surface that surrounds it. I also don't like how the front grill is now squished. I do however like the new fog lights and their surrounds as they flow better with the angular lines of the Camaro.

As for the rear, i will have to wait until I see some hi-res shots of it to make a decision on it.

I also prefer the original round openings for the fog lights than the slanted square openings.

I was hoping they would change the instrument panel similar to the 2014 corvette
The gauges on the console suck and are worthless.
The tail light also suck.

I like it... don't hate it, but things have to change at some point and people will love it and hate it because it's different. It looks like an Audi or Ford Focus from the front. Hood seems goofy. The rear is benign. I like my 2010... more now.
