i think i looks great.... i had a chance to view it up close at the Woodward cruise, and it is a quality job.
what could be better then two vetts in one year.

Looked good, until I saw the rear 3/4 view. Awful lines from that angle - the C5 front fender bulge doesn't work for me on this design. I'd prefer Shinoda's C5/Sting Ray hybrid that he drew when C5 was introduced.

As a package I don't think it works - but I kinda like the grill...

It's certainly not going to be the 50th Anniv., but I don't think it's that bad looking. I've always though that the '53-'55 were by far the ugliest Vette's. This looks better than the originals.

No way! This retro stuff may be the in thing, but the Corvette has never relied on what anyone else is doing. Blah!

I can really see where the generational difference would exist on this car.
But I gotta say that it would be pretty individualized as a statement, and whether you love it or hate it it makes you look. A very individualized, personal driving statement. I'm gonna get one if they come out with any kind of outstanding performance. :yesnod: :cheers: :yesnod:
