I saw one in sliver the other day. My wife said "OMG is that the new corvette?? I love it!!"

(She could have cared less about any other Vette in the history of ever...)

They do look nice. I have one in the Gran Turismo game for ps3. Way better in person!

There are very very few corvettes I like, and less corvette people that I like. 63 Split (Dad's friend had a really nice one when I was a kid). I am starting to like the late 60's early 70's ( I think they call them macco sharks?).

And this one. I freaking love it

I don't like the back end either, but the technical specs and improvements are tremendous!

I saw a silver one yesterday. Really cool looking improvements. I agree on the rear bodywork .... looks like a panel is missing.

I would roll one! I bet the price tag is high , tho.

I think everyone is saying something about the back,I watched Chasing Classic Cars a few weeks ago and when they saw it at one of the shows that was the only negative thing they had to say about it.

I'm okay with the back, it doesn't bother me. I think this is the best looking Vette since the 60's. I'm glad they finally got rid of that awefull looking fish-bowl/wrap around rear window. I'll take one in white please 8-)
Price isn't too bad considering the performance, entry level is about 51k

I like the new look. 51k seems cheaper than when I priced one several years ago.

Eric, I think you are talking about the original "stingray" body style. The Mako Shark was a one-time special concept car.
