Default Another C7 thought..

What if they just put the C6 front and back on the Transformer body?

It looks like someone rolled a C6 and the roof collapsed.

I'm sorry but it's overstyled to say the least.

I agree that the roof is a bit low. As for "overstyled", I'm pretty sure a lot of folks said the same about this one...

...and many other Vettes.

Great point.

I do hope the C7 is not to drastic of a departure from the C6.

A rearview mirror would be just about useless. Would need a camera mounted by the license plate to have a rear view.
But it does look sweeeeeeet..........

Looks pretty good, but I still like Sideswipe better.

Thats about what I would suspect it would look like but with a slightly higher roof and slight mods to the front and rear from the C6 design. They could do this on the existing platform without having to break the bank. I have always thought the C7 will be just an evolution car in terms of styling as the C6 was to the C5.

There are no words to describe how much I love this concept. I love the flush windshield/hidden A pillar. That needs to stay in a production version. On that note, I would like to see a frameless side window (like the C6), hide the B pillar and make it blend flush with the hatch glass. Add a glass roof for the full on fighter canopy look and I think I would crap my pants with excitement.

Note to GM: BUILD IT.

While I really like it compared to the Transformer Vette, I think there are a lot of compromises from this design that would have to be made to produce it while keeping it affordable for the classic target audience. I think the roof is just too low...the door on the concept is a lambo-type door that lifts up and out and I just can't see that happnin'.

I would like the general idea but the front and back HAVE to be something other than the exact same as the C6. I'm glad some of you like it and I hope some of these elements will go into the C7.
