Absolutely gorgeous.

It looks angular and smooth at the same time - in almost perfect balance - from all the angles I could see.
Only the tail lights kind of give away that it's a modern Chevy design, otherwise I do think it does look more European, as they said in the video. If I just saw the front without any branding or clues as to the manufacturer, I would have thought it was a new Lotus model, perhaps a new Elise. Which is a very good thing.

I like the look of all Corvettes, but the only one I really love is the 1969 era Stingray coupe (early C3). Until now.

The new car definitely deserves the name, though the look is more of a departure from the old.
Style is a very subjective thing, but I don't think anyone could look at it and not see the beauty in the design.

Hm, I was rather surprised by it's looks; it's a pretty sharp car! At first, when they said it only had 450 HP, I was a bit surprised, because I thought that was a fancier model, but it's actually the baseStingray (sorry Ed).

Jay looks like a fucking tool. Lose the denim shirt dude.

I'm pretty certain he always wears that thing when he's not doing any sort of late show. :p

EDIT:

He's rich, he doesn't give a shirt.

Sorry... I had to.

If it was just once I wouldn't care but he ALWAYS dresses like that.

Wouldn't it be worse if it wasn't all the time? Then you think, wtf was he thinking, he should know better. But this is what he knows/likes.

I love how the C7 looks too, but still needs round tail lights.

Definitely sexy car. First real walk around I've seen of it. Look like my earlier fear of a flat black diffuser on the rear was unfounded. I'm still not a big fan of the back end but I dig the quad exhaust.

So I guess the interior is up to snuff now Jules? I mean, seeing as how all your sour grapes are aimed at Jay' s shirt now, lol. Not sure why nobody seems to get this but the show is called Jay's Garage. Nobody wears a three piece suit in their garage, hehe. If you're taking an old car out for a spin and you may have to roll up your sleeves to fix a problem if it craps out, a cheap denim shirt seems like a great choice to me. If it was my garage tv show you'd see me wearing scrappy old stained sweatpants and a Larry the cable guy bass fishing shirt with grease on it.

It looks a lot better.

Like I said, it wouldn't bother me if he wore a denim shirt once in a while but every single video seems like he wears the same stupid blue denim shirts in them. He must have closets full of them.

So you might say it's become his trademark look? Kinda like Bob Vila wearing flannel.

Best looking corvette I've ever seen. Can't wait until Jeremy Clarkson gets his hands on it. Hopefully when he pushes in on the plastic in between the tail lights it doesn't buckle in.
