I like it, and it is probably much more refined than a C6. The seats appear to feel better
It more than likely has 2 push to start buttons(the C6 guys will be jealous)
any word on what size the engine is?

GM comes up with wild designs most of the time the C-6
is a exception. Think of the differences in body styles
between the C-1 and C-2 and C2 to C-3 the C-4 and C-5.
The vette that will come out next will make the C-5 look old.
It's OK by me I love the C-2 and C-5 the best. But I love
Corvettes in general.

Well......we always upgrade eventually, but maybe I will hold on to the C5 for a long, long time. GM is apparently borrowing from others to recreate it's future look. I call that plagiarism and I can't tell you how many times I almost got caught doing that in college. They got caught and I hope they get at least three days suspension. There are parts of it I really like and I bet the technology is terrific. Just go with a more traditional front end and bring back the "flip headlights" then go to confession and ask forgiveness.

I just looked at the new Motor Trend Mag and they have a picture of the New Corvette 2013. Even if the final product doesn't look like this , I'm sure it will look close . I don't like it . It looks like a cross between the transformers car and the C6 . I like the C6 better than this thing > Its sad for the Corvette world IMO.
The C6 didn't go over big in styling so we needed the C7 to really look great and they ****ED it up ..On a side note the Ferrari F-70 looks insane !!
Why couldnt Corvette get it right this time , Like in 97

PS: I actually like the pic tonylukes3 posted. Except for the wide-mouth bass grill...

Those are artist renderings. They look terrible, but then again, they ALWAYS do. And they ALWAYS look different from the actual car coming out. I do not put any credit in those since they have yet to be accurate aside from having 4 wheels and 2 doors.

I don't like the lights in the rear that much or the little "inlets that are back there, but I like the rest of it. I'll get one. by 2013 my C5 may be ready to be traded in.
