This one is going to take me some time. Right now, I think it's overdone and rather ugly. Time will tell. Dissapointed they're calling it a Stingray.

I'm in the LOVE IT crowd, too. First time a new 'Vette has ever been on my "lottery list" (cars I'd go out and buy if I won). Love that color, too.

Homerun! Now to start digesting all the changes going on under under that pretty new shark skin. It appears to be a 100% new in all areas, from the suck bang blow pieces to the whoa nellie belle.

Yahoo has posted a series of pix of the new C7 Corvette that shows a lot of close-ups of the interior and exterior. It looks like they finally got back to the coke bottle style body side panels like the C3 had, for the new Stingray. About time!! 
You can check them out here by clicking on the C7 picture.

The difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys!!
I like it overall - though to me the rear end is a tale of two rears.... I love the hatch design, but the rear bumper, and especially the taillights, do nothing for me - looks like a Camaro. I'm assuming they were going for commonality, but for me it doesn't work. Maybe it will grow on me. I'm also thinking the A pillars should be red, but I'm not 100% on that.
The interior looks good - need to see it in person and feel the materials.
Overall, very well done. Maybe someone will make aftermarket tail lights...
It has gone totally European in style as far as I'm concerned. In my opinion it has completely lost the look of Motor City Muscle. It may be my age, but as I see it all of the newer produced muscle cars such as the Camero, Charger, Mustang, etc. have all still kept that American body style look. With that said, as far as European style cars go its one bad-azz ride!! Should compete very well with the Ferrari, Porsche and so on. The only thing I would have liked to see is round tail lights as opposed to using the Camero look.
