I got the January issue of Car and Driver magazine today, discussing the new 7th generation 2014 Corvette
Adding rear quarter-panel windows? :blink: WTF? GETTING RID of the iconic 4 round taillights? and giving it Camaro-ish and Malibu-ish square-cornered taillights. I swear, if it weren't for it's cross-flag logo, i'd confuse the back of the '14 Corvette for a Camaro :blink: :blink:
Bad move, Chevrolet.
Dad said (after showing him the pictures of the '14 Corvette in the magazine) that, "They're gonna kill it, you watch, Jared. They really did a s**tty job." (well when the article mentions that without the front flag logo, that it'd be confused for a Hyundai, and that the rear looks very close to the Camaro's. WTF? The Corvette is supposed to be unique, not to get confused for/looking close to another vehicle.
<_< The 'Vette shouldn't look similar to a Korean Hyundai or a Camaro.
Especially the camaro.. now it's gonna look like (from the rear)... if it has the cross-flags symbol, it's a corvette, and if it has the "bow-tie" logo, then it's a Camaro. The '14 'Vette and the current Camaro have very similarly shaped tail-lights. Of course dad HATES the design.
I hate the rear quarter-panel windows.. (makes it look like a Camaro, there. or another coupe... NOT a Corvette.
)
A 4-seat coupe has rear quarter-panel windows for back seat passengers to look out of.., not a 2 seater single-row coupe. Come ON guys....
The Corvette is completely ruined now! What a freaking disaster! THIS is America's sports-car! Not a Hyundai-ish, Camaro-ishy mixed designed coupe.
I hate the new upcoming style, the 2014 model, coming to dealerships in Fall 2013.
<_< <_< <_<
On the positive side, we still have the Camaro, at least that's awesome, in it's 1967-1969 retro style!
I bet in 2016, when the next-generation Camaro debuts, Chevy might do a retro version of the 1970-1973 Camaro. Hmmm.
: I can only wonder.
But the '14 'vette is one ugly thing that looks like the result of a Hyundai and a Camaro mixed in a blender.
Ughhh!!
