It has been criticized in the design world as being "too Japanese", I suppose because of the stark rear lamps and other sharper lines. I think it's sweet, but that's out there.The 2014-current stingray almost has me swayed over to the dark side.
Nobody who likes sports cars likes Corvettes anyway. They had a well-earned bad rep for a really long time; I think Automobile pointed out that the last generation smoked nearly everything else on the track, cost less, but still felt like a tupperware party on the inside. This time around everyone is jumping around pointing out that it doesn't feel like a tupperware party on the inside and trying to wrap their heads around the fact that it's a Corvette. I've heard a few people beefing over the fact that the taillights aren't round anymore. Okay, fine. "too japanese?" Also fine. Detroit's offerings have been a fat folder of fail ever since they decided it was 1967 again and I'll take the car that doesn't look like it was designed for a Bullitt retrospective.
