Like it! Nobody has talked about or shown just how the top is going to come off yet? will it be a fixed roof maybe? Can't imagine GM is too happy right now with their new baby so exposed to the public eye, even though it is not official.....Yes, I see the 7 on the side, very cool

Having studied the roof of the Camouflaged test vehicle and comparing simular roof lines of other production cars, it appears that there is going to be a halo simular to the current C6. The difference is the halo ties into the rear quarter windows design. Also the rear deck lid will open at the front of the quarter windows, the one piece unit (including the quarter windows) will open like the current C6. I don't think the roof proportions are correct on the Japlonik drawings.

One solution GM used that I suggested about in another thread is to use a similar solution as with the Fiero GT. The two back side windows, if fixed and smoked could hide the C6 type frame roll bar assembly. If they are operable up/down?

The Fiero Gt was a t-top, but the concept is the same as for a single roof panel.

the only thing about this car that is not growing on me are those front fender vents (too GT-Rish). Hopefully, the real car will have a larger, more pronounced opening....I doubt it though.

I agree, something just doesn't look right with that vent, like it doesn't match the car well.

This rendering is better IMO, very Maserati-ish.

I wish the A-pillars would get painted body color and give the design more of a nice universal flow

I see Nissan in a lot of this. No thanks. It's not "bad" per se, it's just not "Corvette."

And what's with the backside windows (C pillar?)?? Since when?

I do not like any of the stuff derived from the recent computer animation.

The proportions seem off.

The Toyobaru twins keep asserting themselves, and I'm sure that's not going to happen with the real C7.
