I was in the Philly airport yesterday and I saw this in Motor Trend. I thought I would share the link with everyone.

I like everything 'cept the staggered tail lights. Something just doesn't look RIGHT with their different heights! 
The front end is OK, but I think they could do something a little different than the recycled C6 nose. I do like the side view far better than the current gen however. Almost as nice as the C5 FRC!

I don't like any of the concept drawings at all...
They really need to get back to the drawing board and come up with something else...
It would be nice if they brought the FRC style to the C7 Z06 and keep the hatchback styling for the base C7 model, it follows a tradition more than anything... from the C5 standpoint. I think the Z06 model should look a bit more "track oriented" when it comes to the styling. Not saying the current C6 Z06 does not look bad-***, but a FRC version would be hot...

The actual production car will probably have the normal GM 3" tire to wheel-well gap and much smaller wheels with a much larger sidewall. But the body styling portrayed is an improvement over the current C6.

you'd think they'd loosen this requirment on a world-class sports car. For goodness sakes GM, take a look at a factory BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Audi etc... and get a clue! We don't want to put chains on our Vettes.
