Yup, for the new C7.

the new Corvette had better kick ass. I so want to drive a good looking American super car someday and they canned the Viper and the GT was only a limited run. The current vette, although a 2 seater, doesn't look as flashy as a Porsche or any of the European super cars.

doesn't look as flashy as Porsche? Porsche's are pretty understated imo

Can't tell any of them apart aside from the Panamera and Cayenne too.

Thats my point... Porsches are meant to be daily drivers and for the most part look pretty plain, but the vette's design has been the same since the late 80's minus minor refreshes.

Then why did you hold them up as a standard of flashiness, along side European supercars?

ok well this is just seeming to become an argument for the sake of argument and not constructive. But as I just said in the post you quoted, that was my point. It wasn't as flashy as the Porsche. Even though the Porsche isn't as flashy as a Ferarri or Lamborghini.

Let me expand. The Dodge viper looked flashier/more expensive than the corvette. The GT500 looked flashier/more expensive than the Corvette. In my opinion ALL of the European sports cars look flashier than the Corvette. Now I can respect the fact that your opinion and others may differ from mine, but there is a reason that GM even admits that the demographic for the Corvette is aging and it is failing to attract younger buyers such as myself.

according to my internet searches:

Porsche 911 average owner's age = 39
Corvette average owner's age = 54

the only time i liked Porsche's kinda was when the 99' came out. it looked sleeker. then in 2005 they went right back to the old look. looks like it could be from 15 years ago, cause their fans won't change.
although the Corvette has styling dating back to 1968 really, it certainly can't be mistaken for one from the 80s. I personally don't think the Corvette needs to be flashy. It needs to be beautiful like the Sting Ray. The Corvette seems ready for a change, and then i stand next to one, and damn is that thing hot.

is my point. looks pretty much the same minus different wheels, and very subtle body changes.
