Why? How would it effect you?
For folks that need extra space for those long trips it would be great. I used to go camping with my C3 and had to use the spare tire carrier to hold our gear. I think it's a good idea.

And they look bad on everything I've ever seen them on.

Not much of an argument. Looks like all the other I've ever seen, looks very unfinished. At least you have it on both sides but these stripes always looks like a "tagger" got a can of spray paint and didn't finish his art.

The shooting brake is an interesting design. I like it. Both the C7 and C7 Shooting brake are a bit out of my $$$ range, but I can see that a 200mph wagon might draw some attention. And Callaway will do it nicely (and no doubt punch up the HP a bit at the same time

To each his own. Racing stripes in the same color will be added soon.

They're a whole lot better looking from the inside.

They feel 18" shorter and 1500lb lighter from the driver's seat...I'm pretty sure some laws of physics are getting broken. Waaay out of my price range though.

What does this have to do with a Vette Wagon? Bet there aren't many 50+ RICERS here anyway.

I see more GS stripes on "not young" people. I think your comment is pretty retarded. Thats like saying all old people overly chrome and bling everything.

Yeah...sounds like you're very up to speed on the younger trends...

Like Corvette Ed....yep, that car has young trendy guy written all over it...from the ride height, to the chrome, all the way down to the fake GS stripes. No offense Ed, but making a point that young guy taste and old guy taste are definitely not one in the same.

I'm nearly 50 years young.

I do what I think looks good with my car. I don't care what anyone else is doing or what anyone else thinks about it, because after all, it is MY car. I think the blue stripes provide a great contrast to the bright white, and that's all that matters.

Those of us that have been round corvettes more than a week remember the Greenwood Corvette from the mid 70's.
It wasn't pretty, but it is very collectable.

Add a few more and you might have a rolling ZEBRA.

I'm 27 and think this could be one of the best cars on the market depending on the specific details. The main question being:

Will it hold a set of wheels and tires?

I've always preferred hatchbacks and wagons because they have space for parts and tools to take to the track, eliminating the need for a wasteful truck and trailer without having much impact on performance.
