All purist hate change . When the sharks came out in 68 they were hated! People beat them into the ground, now they are rare because of that. I still do not like the C4, just me....
If you read why the changes were made it may help...maybe not. Camaro is selling like crazy, Vette not so much...sales continue to drop. Babyboomers are still the largest % of owners. The young people do not even consider a vette because it's a "Old Man's" car.
If they are to save the Vette and continue to invest engineering dollars in todays car market it needs to be styled for the Gen X&Y.
So lets see how it fair's....will it go the way of the T-bird.
Ford has great market in the Stang, Chevy has great market in the Camaro.
This has all been documented, and the debate will go on for years as always...because we all love our vette's!
I'll always have my C3's ....but I'd love to have one of these Gen 10 rides
Just sayin.....

Ebo, you are right on. I had a 64 fastback, a 65 396/425 vert, and a 66 427/450 vert. When the 68 came out I hated it. Everyone would ask me my thoughts, do to me being a freak on C2's, what I said was "too much extra weight all in the front, losing handling characteristics, too goodied up just to attract doctors and lawyers and they look like C2's that were left in the sun too long, and got distorted." I felt that Chevy was trying to turn a sports car into a personal luxury car for the professional market. That's sort of what happened and the "waves" disappeared. A whole different breed of owners.
Then in 74 with the no bumper front and rear......I fell in love with the C3
