I agree that 2 is a very small sample size, but couple that with the reaction here and you figure there may be thousands that agree as well. If you go to any group of fanboiis they will pound the drum that their make and model is the greatest thing ever and overlook its deficiencies. Kind of like 4th gens with glass rears and piston slap. Or 3rd gen Novas with ****** cooling systems and grandma interiors. Or 2nd gen fbodies with
damn the torpedoes shiny chrome bumpers.
Time will tell. I'm sure the Corvette will sell just fine, at least while the C7 is brandy-new. I remember when a C5 sales brochure was $50 to get at the dealer, and there was a wait list.
However the GTO didn't sell well, and people picked that apart too. The arrogant quote about the C6 headlights is still very true. Although they tried the same thing with the Avalanche and its rubber "trim" and that failed.

There are more 'Vette guys expressing displeasure in the rear design than guys that like it in these 3 threads.
^ that car is beautiful though.
