the two photos aren't the same. the bottom one, with those "flying sails" on the right- and left-rear, it'll be a nightmare to see out. yeah, yeah, that's what mirrors are for....but mirrors don't show everything. that's why we got swivel heads.

It's a nice effort by someone! I'll add it to my collection of about 20 different C7 concept images. I'd question the effectiveness of the tail lights, usable storage space, etc. but I'm not utterly repulsed by it.

Thanks for sharing it!

I like the back best, especially the C3 roof sails. Much better than the '63 Split-window concept. It would very cool, if the rear window would power retract, with the roof panel off you'd have a Vert with a roll over bar. Besides, how many people use their Vette to haul stuff anyway? That big greenhouse glass hatch is passe.

The headlights on the front need work IMHO.

When I first seen the the C6 I didn't really like it. After a while it grew on me. Most of us are resistant to change.

Reminds me of the lyrics to a Supertramp Song;

Why, oh why do folks insist on pushing derivations of that "Transformers" abortion on us? It may look cool to a 15 year old, but that's about it. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

It would be a sure way to kill the Corvette once and for all.

The first one looks nice. The C7 design needs to be more evolutionary than revolutionary like the 2nd pic. The C6 still looks great, so I'd hate to see GM change too much.

All the designs have some merit. Hopefully the general is paying attention to the corvette buying publics comments. Most past designs started out being pretty wild and were toned down before production. I personally feel the C-7 is quite a few years into the future. Look at the production run of the C-3 and C-4 Vettes. The C-5 run was pretty short by past standards. With the C-6 In it's 6th year and being a head turner, I think it has a few more years left in it before it becomes old and stale looking. A few upgrades to the interior,more horses under the hood and some new better looking wheel styles,custom colors and it,s good to go.

I like the car in the top picture - would like to see the rear view of that car. The one in the bottom picture does nothing for me.
