Gezz GM... Innovate. This still looks like the same old 60's Vet. Can't you, or don't you have anybody in your company that has new ideas?? Won't sell, and I don't care.

@S Michael The Corvette remains one of the best bang for the buck deals to go fast around Nurburgring. The ZR1 has a 7:19, the Nissan GTR is 7:24 and almost nothing else south of $200k is even close.

1. Congratulations to General Motors for maintaining the tradition of a performance car that the rest of the world respects. 2. Were not the "Coke bottle" haunches first seen on the Buick Riviera, in the early 60s?

Without trying to be crude here, Corvettes tend to stimulate a woman's Bartholin & Skene glands. Always have, always will. Google them up guys, then go buy a "Vette".

Haters will be haters. The C7 Stingray design actually predicted the design look of the upcoming Ferrari F12tdf (just look at the preview pics and the resemblance is stunning), yet some people reflexively say it looks like the classic Vettes of the '60s (iconic designs adored in museums). On top of it, the car is just as fast (or faster depending on options) at one-third of the cost. GM has innovated ... big time!

Nobody does styling like GM.

The pics don't do it justice as much better looking in person. As have been the last couple yrs. Anyone who thinks this looks like a 60's Vette doesn't have a clue. I'm seriously thinking of doing an all composite body/chassis 63split window Coupe looking 300 mile range fast EV for much less money. As for performance few can beat a Vette for the money or even at 2-5x's as much as it'll beat a lot of supercars which I believe it is.

@ SMichael:
2016 Vette models are out now. 2014 &'15's outsold all mkt projections (.."won't sell and..").
Rectal Optimitus is a tragic but mostly self-induced disease whereby the head becomes permanently lodged within the anal cavity and the untreated sufferer "can't see for sh.t"! (.."still looks like same old 60's Vet."(sic))
I'm no GM fanboy, but these comments were so outrageously ill-informed I felt compelled to respond. (WikiLeaks Syndrome) So, I went out to my garage,did a close comparison between my '67 427 roadster and my new, 650hp ZO6, and you know-- actually you were right,S! Both Vettes have 2 doors,4 wheels,2 seats and V8 pushrod engines. But even a Prius-loving, bike riding, Gluten-free Trunk Monkey wouldn't say they looked alike!
S, your final words ("...and I don't care.") actually say it all: why even comment on this well-written but innocuous article? A tip: the real world (the one beyond your parents' basement and X-box) doesn't really care that you "don't care".
But it has accepted as "settled science" the fact that the C7 Stingray looks nothing like a 50+ yrs-old C2 Corvette. Apologize that this comment is so long, but I multitasked it on iPhone while hunkered down on the throne (which 'looks like the same old...').

Mechanically, I'm sure this machine goes like a bat outa hell, and for the money, it's a deal, but the design will always draw a subjective reaction.
The "Corvette" panel in front spoils the mouth. Remove it! The seats should have at least two tones. The monocolor leather lacks definition. The ass end looks cut off from the side and the taillight treatment is meh. The exhaust trumpets look great, but four in a row?
GM is trying a little too hard on this design, even if it's a fine set of mag wheels with a great interior and sensuous curves.
PS. The new Corvette wing logo also bugs me.

Just bought my 2016 Stingray (arctic white) and sold my 2006. I was a C7 skeptic but no more, such a better car than my C6. This is my third Vette and I am not disappointed. Only concern is that the Camaro is looking more Vette-like and the Vette look should be exclusive and not copied parts wise to any other GM platform and that includes the powertrain, the Vette should always have the highest engine options. Or as my Vette club friends say "Mustangs are for boys, Corvettes are for men."
