Default The Worlds Ugliest Corvette [Poll]

What's the consensus on this car?
A) Thumbs up
B) Thumbs down
C) Unsure


Article - "Worlds Ugliest Corvette"
http://www.wired.com/autopia/2009/04...iest-corvette/

Video showing how the car was fabricated -

The front and rear end look like the mouth of a guppy fish. It would take me quite a while to get use to that styling so I'd have to give it an "Unsure".

Interesting design exercise, but way over the top & excess to me just for the sake of doing it. Front end is especially ugly.
I'll take the ZR-1 in it's current form thankyou.

I like the back of it

The front

It's not really a vette anymore, looks more like a concept car.

It's DIFFERENT!
I always think that as long as wheels and tires are round, wheel-well openings should be more or less round, too.
If you figure where the driver and passenger's heads will be, it doesn't look like they can see out the side window because of it's shape and position.

To the O/P I'll go with C) Unsure.......another "real" set of wheels would help tremendously I think.

As far as the other examples......this tread now needs a WARNING lable. This stuff is harsh on the eyes.

I'll bet it looks pretty cool in person, especially with better wheels. There are many worse looking vettes. Even some of the Baldwin Motion vettes with the disco paint scheme I've seen pics of (not the "regular" motion stripe ones - I love those) are butt ugly.

Definitely a thumb down. No resemblance whatsoever to a Vette.
