Here's to hoping that's what the C7 will look like.

That one looks pretty sweet. I like the idea of paying homage to the older generations, but some of the conceptual pics I've seen so far just go too far. Too much retro is ugly... This one has a good blend of some '69 in there.

Nostalgia cars, Gm's last ditch effort to pull themselves out of the toilet.

For the sake of our economy I really do hope it works.

Looks a lot like a GT-40 in the back, and something tells me they will not be bringing back pop up head lights, I see them getting replace with some flush mounts if the production model ever comes about.

Costco, that red 'vette mashup is sexy. THAT looks better than the real C6.

word. i share the same theory.

you may see an short-term increase in sales by having a retro styled car. but then what do you do for the upcoming generation? the car will have to evolve all over again.
