I think the rear is a bit busy. I would hope they separate the tail lights and have it as 4 individual lights.

I wish it was more like the Stingray concept. This seems like a milder evolution from the C6, imo.

And the c6 will be the last corvette I ever think of purchasing if that's what it's gonna really look like. Over 40 years of corvette history with circular tailights and all of a sudden the car looks like a Ferrari 458, Nissan GTR, and Camaro had sex and the child was born with down syndrome.

true, but people said the same thing about the exposed headlights.

Looks interesting but I don't like the Camaro/now Impala tail lights at all. A Corvette should have 4 circular tail lights. It does not look right with those tail lights, hopefully they keep the round tail lights for production.

keep in mind these are not 100% final pics...I do however hope they clean the back end up a bit.

oh, here's chop with round....doesn't look good IMO...

So much hate on those tail lights... I'd prefer they stay roundish (not all of them have been perfectly round), but those look good either way IMO.

it appears the actual LEDs inside the lense will be half a circle....so they're almost round

I still think 95% of the car looks beautiful, but the more I see, the more I'm agreeing that the tail lights need some work... And not even just because they're not really round, but they just look too busy, and don't really fit with the rest of the car.
