2014 Corvette Stingray

I'm sure you have all seen the pictures, so what do you all think? I really love the design, probably one of the best they have ever done IMHO.

Looks like something Ming the Merciless would have driven in those old Flash Gordon serials from the 1930s.

Re: 2014 Corvette Stingray

What a huge change. I like it. The rear end looks like the new Camaros.

Re: 2014 Corvette Stingray

-the interior is AWESOME, except for maybe the steering wheel

-all the vents/scoops/ducts are distracting - they look ok on an STi/EVO rally-style car, but not a Corvette - at least make them body-color so they don't stand out as much

-while i'm not fond of the rear end, at least it has some design to it, as opposed to the "hacked off with an axe" look of previous models

Re: 2014 Corvette Stingray

Hideous and horrible design. Just screams iconic American design from the 1970s.

Re: 2014 Corvette Stingray

I've lived through the 70's. I am going to bed and hopefully wake up when artful fluid design is recognized once again.

Re: 2014 Corvette Stingray

Looks like an awful lot of gears on that gear shift knob.
Looks like a 6 speed in this picture . The one I saw earlier looked like 8 speed. I am not a fan of colored interior. I stick with tan, white,gray black.

Re: 2014 Corvette Stingray

looks better without all that red B.S.

why can't GM make a non-stupid steering wheel?

There is nothing I don't like, it's a great looking design.

Re: 2014 Corvette Stingray

I don't care for the sharp edges. I like the C5 and C6 - they flowed more.

Re: 2014 Corvette Stingray

I like it!!!
Should it be called a Corvette? Probably not.
But still, it's a beautiful car!
