Default UGLIEST CORVETTE EVER

I know that this is the C3 forum, but I just wanted to comment on the new Corvette Moray. I think it is an infidelity to the Corvette name. Corvette spends years building up their reputation as the true American sports car, and then they go and do something like this. Not only is the Moray ugly, it is not even an American sports car. I think Corvette has made a big mistake with this new model.

Its not ugly and from what I read It's not a Chevy car but a design shop that is honoring 50 years of Corvettes with this design. I guess it is built on a C5 chassis.
