I think it looks too European, I'd rather see a retro Stingray look myself.

I agree, Mark.  It looks too "boxy" or square.  Not sure the best way to put it.  Some of the lines are too harsh.  Of course, if I had the $$$ I still might buy one!

What's not to like it's a vette? It will continue to metamorphisize before it goes into production. If GM doesn't continue to push the envelope to make it something high HP & out there it standz a chance of not living up to it's namesake.... I Love It!

Vette(s): Silver 1974 Convertible - L82 4 speed Low miles (was only 8,900 when I bought it in March 2006) - Now 54K miles. Original owner bought it as an investment for son's college expenses. 2008 Jetstream Blue Convertible
The mid-engine one does look very much like a Lambo.  The red one looked very much like a C6 - didn't seem like much of a change.  Compare the 1984 C4 to the 96, and you'll get as many changes, but they were the same "generation."


I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I think it looks FAT, like in overweight!  Needs to do some exercise and diet.
