Default Concept Corvette

I was at the Chicago Auto Show yesterday. The hit of the show for me was the concept Corvette which is supposed to be in a Transformers movie being released later this month. In person, this car is way COOL!! One thing that I really liked was the fact that it has a split rear window, though not the 63 version. Spelled out on the back of the car in silver letters is "STINGRAY" It is very futuristic and has a lot of angles, but I still really liked it. Understand, I saw the C6 for the first time at the auto show some years ago and didn't care for it at all.

Along with a new Camaro, they also have a ZR1 on display there and both are quite impressive, though not my cup of tea.

I'm sure not everyone will agree, but FWIW, I was impressed, very impressed and I am a traditionalist by nature.

Link to Stingray Concept

That is on Jalopnik, an entertaining automotive site.

Transformers comes out in June. I wish it was this month, I'm in the background in one of the scenes but I'll be out of the country when its released.

That Stingray is bad ***, but even if its the basis for the C7 the split window will never make it to production.

That's what people said about the 68 when it came out. By the way, both the C6 and this Stingray were done by the same guy.

Gotham City cruiser for sure. I think it's something that would have to grow on me.
