Was doing a bit of web searching for the new c7 info and this popped up.

Credible?

Paul Workman · 01-12-2013

Oh, my.... I really hope it isn't so. Looks like something out of a "Transformers" movie. "CHEESEY"... comes to mind at first blush.

BTW, anyone see a resemblance to the Camaro rear end? OR, how 'bout the new Malibu (same theme).

Guess we'll know for sure next week!

Think the front could grow on me but the butt end looks too much like the Camaro and other cars for me to get excited about it.

Thought the Big Event was tomorrow at Detroit?

That's from the cover of Automobile mag. R&T has a render of the front end.
The big reveal is being live streamed tomorrow at 7pm. The technology in the car sound pretty incredible.

That's not going to fly very well with the purists.

What were they thinking with that rearend and those tail lights!? ---

Fully Vetted · 01-12-2013

Wow. I think they nailed the front end and the back is hideous. If that's the best they can come up with on the rearend someone should be fired. There's just no way the same design team that did the front came up with that for the rear.

I think I'll wait and view the whole vehicle before passing judgement. Should be here in Chicago shortly after NAIAS. Personally, I like what I see in the renderings so far.

The *** is awful

I like the aggressive front, I like the sharp edges along the fenders and hood, but I'll have to wait 'till I see the whole car in person to care enough to get upset over lack of round tail lights.

They've gone from circular to squared circular to oval to almost circular- I'm not sure they need to rehash that anymore.
