Default Vette C7

Anyone else see these? It's the new (Supposingly) C7 from the new Transformer film. Probably more concept than anything....

Well I am a horses ***. I just saw someone else posted a couple weeks ago in the C7 section. Just figured I would see what you all thought.

I like it too. Just my opinion. You can see the C3 in it. It looks like a friggin jet that will eat other cars for lunch!

Not too shabby. Don't like the look of the rear end. Certainly like the jet fighter feel though. Looks like a C3 and C6 had a baby...

Guess I better start saving my pennys. I imagine it will get changed for the worse just before production like the Camaro is. They changed the rear of the Camaro and I don't like it. From what I see of the C7 looks like they got rid of those ugly C6 headlights YEAH. I would like to see the rear I have always been a rear end man myself.

Well it looks as though they are trying to put some styling back into the rear of the car, not so 1 dimensional. More like the C1,s were with some flair and rounded angels just not a straight point to point rear end. Fast forward the styling 50 years this is what you get

Looks like a good concept car. Obviously the production version will be toned down a lot. Kinda like the Mako Shark to the C3. Could be nice.

And looks like they moved the fuel filler to rear center, where it belongs on a Vette...
