No, I haven't seen that one yet...but I don't really believe any of the renderings on that site (although some are pretty cool looking). My favorite was the C7 rendering that had the retro curves and lines of a early C3!!

This is a popular topic!!

No way they will go without "round or oval" tail lights. Vette has always had round (ish) tail lights. Those are too squared off.

That's what they said about pop up headlights.

Apparently, GM according to that site, says that the design is now locked in and going ahead. Guess we will just have to wait and see ???????

Have you ever been on the road and seen a car that has chrome covered plastic adhesive fixtures attached all over it?

Who is Ray Wert and why would GM want to show him anything in secret?

There will be three or four more of these "exclusive" peeks articles in the future, none of which are likely to be the new car.

Looks like Corvette is copying Camaro and/or Cadillac. But, my interest lies with C3's.

Having seen the pictures I think the styling is believable. I guess we just have to wait to see what reality is. Maybe the side windows and the tail light treatment are what Mr Lutz is refering to as "revolutionary".

Not impressed with this as revolutionary or for that matter even evolutionary. Looks like if this turns out to be it they have punted the ball.

Dose11 posted one he thought might be it which I liked a whole lot better. Will put that photo here. Way more preferable than the one here.

What I'd actually like is something revolutionary.

None of these new cars Vettes included excite me.
They all look a different shade of the same bland plastic look.

Whatever happened to chrome trim real bumpers and emblems that didnt melt in the sun. Pass

I don't think it's too bad. I might buy it if I'm still alive when it becomes a classic in 50 years. I tend to prefer that my modern sports cars be German.
