[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 146575, member: 3537"] Interesting conversation. I was not a hater of the C7 taillights. There have been some photos here with conversions to the round lights on the C7. Looked ok but the with the new generation the angles on the C7 taillight shape suits the overall look of the car better in my opinion. Where the round taillights suited the C6 better. I’ve owned both generations and was perfectly happy with the look. Like every evolution there are rigid purists and others who are excited to see the progression in tech and design. I’m somewhere in the middle. Let’s just say “open minded” I don’t have the figures but the traditional corvette buyer is dropping in age. This trend ramped up sharply after the introduction of the C7 as the car was more gadgety and had more interesting tech the younger buyers wanted. Plus the reliability and affordable performance was there. Financing evolved to accommodate a bigger range of buyers (younger) as well. When I was 25 a new corvette was not even on the radar for financing a purchase like it is today. I love my C7 but am certainly not closing the door on the C8. I feel If the C7 production does indeed stop the C8 will be base priced only slightly higher if at all higher than a comparable C7. Otherwise GM will have destroyed their own market accessibility. If C7 production continues well... that opens up a whole new set of choices and satisfys an even larger market. The high end C8s we will see a couple years down the road will be insanely powerful, luxury filled and priced to match I would expect. But that’s a great thing with current generation Corvettes. You’ve got a new C7 available priced from 62k to 168k right now. So choose. Eventually the C8 will be the same. Just my thoughts on this guys. I could be totally wrong or maybe; hopefully a little bit correct. 😀 [/QUOTE]
