The C6 just grew on me not too long ago. This, I don't think will. The back is alright. The front is disgusting.

The C6 is definitely my favorite 'modern' vette. Designers just took a on this one though if these pics are legit...

I remember when the first spy shots of the C5 hit in the mid-90s...they looked nothing like the eventual design. I wouldn't get your panties in too big of a wad because I'm willing to bet the production version won't look anything like this.

Not pictures...Art....

A bit of GTR with the tail lights, not too bad, but the beak is like an XLR screwing a Ferrari. Not a good combination.

The back of the car looks hot. The side view looks good too, like the door handle area and the side skirt area. The front is terrible looks like they took ideas from the cadillac and a updated version of the original batmobile.

Artist conception is hopefully way off!! On the other hand I've been looking at C6 Z06's, so in a way I hope it looks like this, that way I don't feel bad for buying a C6, b/c that rendering is nasty!

X2. The C6 looks a lot better up front, although I do like the rear treatment. I personally hope the C7 doesnt look better than the C6 so I wont be forced to trade up. However, with every generation, the corvette gets better (ie. C3 to C4 to C5 to C6).

Here's the same angle shot of my vette. I def agree with some of you



Oh and PimpCL23, what are you driving now that your "pimp" 12-yr old 4-cyl CL is gone? After you answer that to yourself, please STFU and stay on topic.

^ OK, you said your piece, now you two... let it go.

BTW, for the record, this is Off Topic, so things generally wander a bit in Car Talk. Nothing like Ramblings, but still, they will wander a little.

The front end looks freaking HORRIBLE! I do like the new angles and the back is sexy, but that's like having a girlfriend with a nice ass and a damn ugly face. That doesn't cut it for me.

There is no way that front end will be in the final version.


It should be closer to the concept......those rendering are a joke.

That's just a freelance chop artist's idea of how it will look based on the concept shown in the transformer's move and the current C6. Totally inaccurate, I'd be pissed at that magazine if I were Chevy.
