I think this thing is so **cking ugly.

There is a reason the stingray was made in 1968 and barred in 1982

it makes me sick how people always ask for a design like the past.

if you want a car that looks like the stingray, buy a C3

this is a C7 and is supposed to look like a modern C7

and this split window thing? just because in 63 that was cool, and that trend kept value, doesnt mean we should bring it back 50 years later in the 21st century. my dad has a 63, and if you want a split window, buy a 63

All this is doing it retaining vette owners from the past.

if vette wants to stay alive it cant make something so brutally ugly that only appeases old vette owners from the ages 50+++

something new needs to be designed to get new vette buys that appeals aesthetically to the younger and older crowd.

this might make the true, and older vette owners happy, but lets face it, no matter what comes out, a true vette owner will buy it

just like all the old vette crown was complaining about the vette losing the flip up lights.

they "fixed" those horribly ugly out of date monstrosities and every true vette enthusiast still bought a c6, and looked back at the ghetto flip up embarrassments and laughed. Everyday i turn my headlights on, i blush! hahha

They're laughing at my headlights? Whew! All this time I thought it was my giant head.

By the way, the "shift" key allows you to capitalize letters. It's ok to use it on the first word in every sentence. I know how much you hate looking ghetto.

My headlights too :/

I'm used to typing papers and other documents in Word, which automatically capitalizes the first word in every sentence, so I just get over it.

Default What C7???????????

The way our economy is going GM is going to keep the C6 for a little longer because the sales have dropped off. In fact Bowling Green is working on and off!

But with all of the hoopla it seems that the only vettes here everything else but the garage queens.

When l move up it's going to be a "Queen" to deflower!!!!!!!!!

If it's not perfect l don't want it!

But the concept could cause me to step out again but it's getting harder to hide the drop in savings. It's either cash or pass.


Let's hope the economy gets better.

Let's hope the economy gets better.


* GDP up 5% in 3rd quarter = highest growth rate in one quarter since 2003

* Wall Street DOW tops 18000,

* Unemployment under 6%,

* Housing recovery in most, not all, markets

* Avg nationwide gas $2.38 per gallon, under $2 in MO statewide avg.
w/consumer savings @ 450M per day compared to Spring & Summer

* Consumer spending rising steadily

* Avg monthly job growth on steady rise for 4th year

* Americans have a + opinion on the economy for first time in seven yrs.

* C7's have sold like hotcakes, 37K for the 2014 model

The Q I have now is this...

Is the Concept car too radical for a C8?

its a little bold but, it does bring a lot of the old school corvette into one car.

I cant see gm putting a split window on a new car. That was eliminated because people didn't like the back window occluded.

I need to start looking at the posting dates more closely. I wasted 10 minutes until I figured out how old this was.

Why drag it back up? Let it go, please.
