Kinda like the red one. Besides all the technical improvements that will come along as technology advances, it has to have the "look" that gets people excited.

I don't think they will generate much profits which such boring and inspireless designs ...
I really hope this doesn't turn into reality.

The red one looks like a C5 with a C6 body kit. Come on ... dull dull dull

Is model year 2011 pretty much the set timeframe for the C7? So, does that mean the C7 will be available sometime in calendar year 2010?

I would like to see Corvette C7 be a revolutionary design instead of an evolutionary one. Come on, give us something new and exciting! The C6 is great but I want something that will WOW me when I see it.

No matter what it looks like, we'll go running to get one to be the first on the block.
Thats just the way it is.

Me too! The C4 wowed me. The C5 wowed me. The C6 disappointed me.

Never happen. Corvette makes them money. That's why they leave Corvette alone.

As long as it doesn't compromise performance or price it into the stratosphere.

I agree. Its totaly not the classic style. They need to come out with something original, not a carbon copy.

*walks out to the C5 in the drive way*

maybe a retro vette run from the 60's would be all GM needs for a boost in the arm.... seems with the Camaro going that way they could make a killing putting together a run of modern c2's

read All Corvettes are Red you may change your feelings. If they have X dollars left it will go to the car that makes the most money for them not a car that is 35,000 units per year. Car market is getting worse and fuel through the roof is killing their cash cow the SUV and trucks. It takes then years to change to smaller cars. The hot sellers they have now are not being made because of the American Axle strike.
