Default Corvette Concept Car

This car, aka Sideswipe, will appear in the new Transformers 2 movie this month.

What do you think?

I like it - more flowing lines than the more recent production Vettes.

as a movie prop for a cartoon based character it's cool.

real life though.. it's too busy and the styling doesn't serve any purpose. It doesn't flow from front to rear.

O.K. I give up. Where's the window pillars? How do you get out of that thing?

Not too sure about the back end, but the rest is cool in my book.

I like it, a lot of Corvette heritage in that car - split rear window and the fenders but a lot of the C3 is there as well and it brings the C3 back to the forefront of Corvette design. I wonder if GM would move forward - they let the prototype Camero be in the first Transformer movie, why not let the C7 slip in there as well for public opinion?

I like it except for the split window! Drive a 63 coupe and you'll see what I mean.

IMHO,
