Great catch ! I didn't notice that. Love this version of the C7. GM is putting rear view TV's in several cars now, and it should in this Vette. The wheels are great, too, altho too similar to the Camaro's.

I love the chopped roof line. That looks pretty sharp. Maybe start with that and make the front and rear just a bit more aggessive without over doing it like the movie car.

I think we're being too closed minded with this, thinking the C7 will look similar to the C5/C6. What if the C7 is as large a design change as the C4 was to the C3 (fenders don't scream corvette, the car almost more looks like a ford escort or somethin')?
I mean, thinking outside of the box... if you were given a clean slate, would we really expect/want the next corvette to carry on the same styling cues from 15 years ago? Think about how the new camaro looks, compared to the old camaro... totally and completely different.
Food for thought, but of course only time will tell.

Gentlemen, ladies...GM has finally come to it's senses. At last, the real true performance C7 prototype with the most advanced suspension has been introduced...the new C7 Corvette F55, with AWD and an advanced twin turbo 327 V8 developing 555hp, this new, aluminum-framed, Kevlar bodied Corvette is the replacement for the aged Z06.

Great job on the design
But not my style, I dont like that space bubble look.
With that said
Make the C7 into this little dream.
Widebody Vette, Ferrari lines, mean Viper look, and a 911 Carrera vert
Now thats what the new C7 should look like
I know you can do it, you are real good
Thanks
