Default Two-Tone Corvette Should be Hidden Forever



There’s a reason some concepts should just be left as concepts, and this is one of the best examples why.

I'll reserve saying everything I really want to say about this thing, considering this is a public forum, but this is one Corvette idea that should have been kept behind closed doors.

This two-tone thing is a complete disgrace to the Corvette nameplate, and about the only thing it’s missing are those fake wood panels found on the old Jeep Wagoneers.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage.

Looks like similar colors I painted on my buddies Mustang 25 years ago. Some people loved it others……not so much!...

Used to have a Mustang in root beer brown. It was really a nice paint color.

To my knowledge no one is being forced at gunpoint to buy it, while someone spent a lot of money to make it look like that.

It's different. It may not be for everyone, but the workmanship appears good. I would like to see it in person. I like the stock C6 look better, but I'm not judging someone else's taste. Good for them.

There is already another thread on this C6 with the "self-loathing and incidental shame" package.

Looks like they were trying to achieve this, which I think is a great rendering......

Agreed, that looks nice; What that dude did however, makes me wonder what kinda drugs he's been taking...
