And when I first saw the C6 I hated those head lights and said I would keep the C5.

Looks like the same one making the rounds at the auto shows lately. It's interesting to look at but I'm sure it will never make it to production.

I as well will be keeping my C6. Granted it is only for show and there will be numerous changes. That hood design is simply too much for me.

That "thing" has no hope of becoming C7. It's got the aerodynamics of a brick.

That's not really a prototype, it's a "movie" car. It's been stated many times that this car will never see production.

Just another member who thought he had the "big scoop", but in reality is already about a year too late! Been posted here many many times.

It's very common for a prototype to be an exaggerated version of what is to come. I'm guessing that they are trying to judge reaction to the design direction of that car, but without the intent of it going that far.

When I was a kid growing-up near the Motor City everyone thought the new Sting Ray was like something from the Jetson's. Who knows what the future Corvette may look like? This prototype pushes the envelope but I like it (for the most part). I agree with jschindler that the next iteration may not be this radical but if this concept performs as 'aggressively' as it looks I'd buy one.
