Funny how people gripe about hash strips on Vettes when it's really a tribute to Corvette racing from the past.

I think it actually looks better than the regular version, but then again it doesnt take much to improve on that.

Need to see it from different angles, but has possibilities. I would not personally buy one over a production model, but if money were not an object I might be interested as a 3rd car - especially if I wanted a station wagon.

I remember when they did the station wagon thing to the early C3. I received an offer to modify mine but I politely said NO. It wasn't a good idea then, wonder why they thought it would be popular now.
Maybe they shoud try making station wagons out of the 2014 Pontiac Grand Am or the 2014 Oldsmobile 98.

I really like the concept, will be interesting to see in person.

When i see a design concept like this i always fear it will turn out looking like the Hurst Hauler....

I don't know why people keep trying to make a station wagon out of Corvette's. Their both useless and ugly. When are you going to be going 90MPH with a mattress strapped to the luggage rack ???? I mean Really . . .

Increased storage space with virtually zero impact on performance, yeah who would want that?

Why would you want a 4500 lb boat wagon when you can have this 3400 lb one that will destroy it?

When this guy smokes your *** on the track do you think he cares about his "useless" roof rack?

I don't see what the problem is. It looks more like a fastback than a wagon and if people will buy them they should build them. It amazes me how some people get so irritated at the new and different when it does not have any effect on their own lives.
