I don't mind round Tail Lights at all.
Especially when they look like this!

Re: New mid engine Corvette. July 18th.
This IMO, is what the new Corvette should've more closely mimicked.
As far as I'm concerned, I haven't seen much of anything decent come from GM Designers for the last 20 or more years.
Only one I liked, the Cadillac XLR.
Of course this car I link to cost just a little more than a new Corvette!

Re: New mid engine Corvette. July 18th.
Like I said earlier, this is the only car I link to below that GM's produced in a good 20 years, that's impressed me with its styling, looks, engineering and all around beauty.
Even the C6 and C7 Vettes didn't do much to excite me in the looks department. In fact through the years, there were lots of "dog" corvettes, the mid 80's really comes to mind, God awful ugly IMO. GM's had some real crap designers through the years.
Me, I once owned one of the better Vette's, the 1967.

I have to agree, but I'd say GM designs have been lacking for more than 20 years. Nothing they've made has really excited me, which is a shame. I even owned a Pontiac during the 90's, but that was because it was all I could afford. I never liked anything about the car.
As for Vettes, I never really paid much attention to them until the C7. Something about the exterior design really struck me. Now that it's been on the road for an entire generation I've cooled quite a bit, but I do admit they still catch my attention the few times I see one. The interior never really grew on me, but I do acknowlege it's far better quality than previous generations. However I do like the gauges of the C6 much better.

Mark, you owned THE BEST Vette but I'm a little biased, LOL. It was a coupe, right

People...its never ever going to be this good after this, enjoy!
While I will always have a deep affection for the mid-year C2's, to proclaim them as the best ever is a stretch. Appearance-wise, the '63 Split Window is an all-time classic. But C2's are uncomfortable and esp. hot (w/out AC), have a harsh ride and lousy road manners above ~60MPH, body stress cracks and bonding seam issues can be a nightmare , have PITA headlight motors ... the list is long.
