Honestly...I don't mind it. I take my Border Collie EVERYWHERE. Unless I'm stopping somewhere and it's too hot, he's with me. Border Collie transport.
And putting my son's baseball gear in the mail slot of my 1970 is sometimes a pain. I'd LOVE to have a little more wiggle room. Of course, the rear hatch of newer Corvettes affords that, but having a little more space is always good.
I like it when Ferrari does it. I like it when BMW does it (Z3M?) Mercedes puts their 577 hp AMG engine in a E63 station wagon. It does 0-60 in 3.6 seconds...that beats a standard new Corvette, ladies and germs.
Like it looks good to me!
I can see a few convincing their wives its the "in" grocery getter.
Maybe it would give more way for legroom so tall guys could actually own one.
Although I am not a fan of the C6 and newer 'Vettes, I don't think it takes away from the look of a new 'Vette at all. I even think maybe it should be that way stock???
