haha, I have seen that photochop on this website almost as often as pics of real C6s.

If they ever made that car, I would be glad I bought a C6 insted of waiting for the C7!

I don't like it . . . I love it. And if this was truly the C7, I'd probably be waiting for it.

With GM fast running out of cash I'd look for a cosmetic, relatively inexpensive change to the C7.

And it looks good to me and I'd probably buy it, in the third production year, if I'm not already in the old age home (60 years old now).

The 800hp SS definitely sounds interesting along with the 600hp Z06 but only 14 more ponies for the base?

They need to dump the saturn sky look though.

The front looks like it should be in the movies Cars. I don't like it.

If this were slated for a 2010 release, it (C7) would have to be FAR along in the development stage. Just last month, another report stated they hadn't even begun the C7. I don't buy it. And if it looks like that, I won't be buying one.

agree with that comment. kind of looks like a mix breed between a new camero, a saturn and a pontiac. I think the cadillac 2009 2 seat sports convertable looks better, cost about 80 to 100 K.

surely the designers can do better.

Take a look at the 1961 shark, now that was a corvette to remember!!!

I think ALL cars now days look like caricatures...or hentai versions of the cars that they used to be; Huge over exagerated features -wheels, frowning headlights, *** ends (C6), giant bumpers, etc. Cars are starting to look "freaky" to me. Like a movie star after too many trips to the plastic surgeon.

You gave me an idea for a horror movie: "Night of the Freaky Cars"


summary: Takes place in Phoenix Arizona: Gasoline being piped into local distribution center gets exposed to some out of space alien radiation which is a "life form." Cars consuming the gas become "alive" and start consuming human flesh. will work on that....

uhhh...it's a Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice with C6 body panels and a hint of change.

I DON"T WANT A SMALLER CORVETTE! I want a better, more efficient C7 that is absolutely 2nd to nothing on or available with the current C6.

I don't hate it. Round the rear a little and FINALLY change the B-pillar design and I could live with it.

I just bought a base 2008 and love it. I intend to trade it in three years. I'd love to trade it on one like this.
