I agree, and it looks a bit like a Lotus Elise

Just what I was thinking.

I don't think we will see anything radical because it would cost too much for a low volume platform. Remember GM is broke.

I sure hope the C7 looks NOTHING like that rendition

Looks like an RX-8 on Barry Bonds' favorite candy.

The rest of the models look pretty cool and could be feasible. As for the "C7" if it looks like that, I'll be plenty glad I've got my C6 no matter how much power that one has.

Well put. Those 'squinty' head light lenses would take some getting used too.

C7 = Lotus Front End, F430 Tail lights.

Looks uninspired. Doesn't change much from the C6. Usually the change is significant, yet subtle. Like a distinct evolution. This concept not so much.

Interesting........especially where they show a DSG 6 for the Impala SS with the LS7 but not for any Corvette.......and they show the A6 in all Corvettes.....doesn't seem plausible. Oh well, rumor and speculation is fun.

This is kinda like that conversation you have with your wife/gf, where you try to work out a deal that it would be okay for you to sleep with Angelina Jolie/Jessica Alba/Greta Garbo (for all you old guys

- it's a hypothetical, and it will never ever work out just that way.

That's why they say "sure honey, you can have a free pass if Uma Thurman throws herself at you - I'll even film it."

It ain't gonna be reality, but, just like my analogy, it's cool to think about.

I don't know about that, but it looks like a Jetstream Blue Camaro at the top of the page!

That camaro looks awesome. But how much of a "rendering" is it?

Oh, and back to my analogy, if it's Jessica Alba, she says she'd even join in.

I'm so lucky! Moving to LA tomorrow.
