I like most of it. The back end I think looks horrible. Interior looks awsome. Front end is different could grow on me.

Not sure on this one, but I do agree with the rear not looking good. Well then, I guess I don't care for it so much.

I agree with everyone else, the rear is hideous. The front is very Aston Martin-ish, I like it! The interior is gorgeous. For that price, I'll ****** up a ZR1 though!

In not a big fan but I might be a little bias... I would rather keep the Corvette looking American where it was born and bred.

Not for me .. how could they ask you to decide between it and a ZR1?

For the price ..... The ZR1 would be my choice, hands down

This is what you get when a Maserati, a Ferrari, and a Z06 have a three way.

I would think we could get new Corvette designs without having to resort to a bastard child between a C6 and an Enzo. Come on! I would much rather go for the Transformer model than that. At least it is an original design.
