There's no "hip" design or European influence that is going to change that, the only thing it can do is hurt it. That being said I LOVE the front end/side profile of the C7, it still retains a feel from the C4/5/6 but takes it to a new level.
The decision to go with the camaro-esque rear-end was just beyond anything I could have imagined. All of the history of the corvette, and you're going to just throw how many years of awesome circular headlights out the window? It's blasphemy. If they could have made a nice rear-end with circular tail lights this would probably be one of my favorite cars EVER. But the rear end just ruins it for me.

The rear 4 circle tails though to me isn't entirely true, I mean to me the C4 didn't have circular tails, they were squared but rounded and when the Camaro and Corvette shared taillights in 1971 it didn't lead to the failure of the models.
Risks have to be taken to evolve, people complained when the C6 was too alike the C5. They caimed toward a new demographic, which we'll have to wait and see if it worked.
