Looks like they started with a C6, choped it with C7 styling cues, and failed. The proportions do not look remotely correct.

That's exactly how I pictured the convertible. I thought: one day we'll have to see this even bigger atrocity!

The proportions are really funky. Combined with that top it makes it look like a micro sports car. It's as if the designer started with big goals with a nice swooping shape all the way to the doors and then ran out of room, chopped the rear window quick, then chopped even quicker with a completely flat rear.

It's an old C6 render based on the camoed C6 mules that were made to look like the C5.

The front and sides are just HOT - it's a corvette with some euro spice (to me) From the side I'm reminded of a Gallardo a little bit.

I know we are a month away from the final reveal but if it wasn't for that ugly *** rear I'd be contemplating getting rid of my Z.

What a difference!


I hope your right and the actual C7 looks much better than what's been represented so far.

^haha...got that right. The rendering is very C6.

At quick glance your avatar made me think you had my old racecar I had at the 2010 Corvette World Tribute...reflection on the front corner of your hood looked like a number when I glanced by...
