I don't think we will ever see that in production, maybe a variation of it.

I don't like it either. I think my C6 is a much better looking car!

I like the front and the way they brought back the split window, but really dont like the back. They should keep the back lights the same as the c6 if they decide to come out with something like this. But front definently is a killer.

The design will be watered down for production, but on balance, I really like it.

i like it!! i have owned vets since 1962 and started with a 61. have owned and driven all the previous body styles and now own a 07 vert. it looks a lot wider than the current model but that could just be the way it is presented. anyway i can see some of all the previous era's in this one car and i would buy it because i like it. now if they can come up with a hydrogen/electric hybrid, maybe?

I like the side profile. Not so much the front and rear.

Please no, don't do that. This may be a minority opinion but I never cared for a car that is clearly design over function. I like them to compliment one another and to be in balance. The C6 is a near perfect blend of the two as were my old 911s. The raptor influence in the C6 is there but did not go over the line, IMO. That thing is. Hot Wheels for sure.

Remember that in matters of taste, there can be no dispute.

Front end pretty good, back end sucks. Think back to the Mako Shark show car and the '68 Vette. Some of this may show up, but remember they also need to address the 'vert.
