Default C3 Retro

If you notice the direction Cadilac has taken with thier new body style, it would seem natural for the C6 Corvette to follow. Just look at the styling ques that are similar to the C3 Vettes. The squared, knife edge fenders are very cool!! IMO.
:cool:

Heck yes I do. I want to go back to some knife edges instead of the rounded Jelly bean/smooth it out look. I hope like heck that the Viper and XLR don't have those edges for themselves. Yes I had a C3 and I would love an updated version of it. I was very happy with the Motor Trend drawings which apparently have gone down the tubes. :chevy

I wish they'd bring back the dash panel from the 68-71 SHARKS. It was awesome when lit up at night. Those 2 big tach and speedo gauges in front, and the five ancillary guages in the center pod along with radio and HVAC controls. And then the fiberoptic lamp indicators. Really great. :chevy

C3s are cool, no doubt. But I'd like to see C6 styling for forward and not backward. There is no reason to do a retro-style Corvette. They just need to continue the C4>C5 style, add a bit more hood bulge and trim up the rear and they got it.

Personally I can't stand the new "edge" look comming out of Detroit.
