It's a cry telling GM to start building Sideswipe already.

Supposedly Sideswipe, Bumblebee and Optimus are getting remade for the third movie. It's possible it is the Sideswipe from TF3.

I think it looks fantastic, and if this really is a bodykit, and if GM is not releasing this, than I'll be in the market for a second hand C6 and will invest in this kit ... Absolutely amazing ...

I honestly really hope its for the third movie, as futuristic as it is its just way over done. Not vette enough image. Thing thats odd, other then its a vert, is the whole car got changed actually. Notice the headlights are different, hood is etc...

Looks good but the front fascia still needs some work...

Out of all the pictures/threads in the c7 forum, this one is my favorite. It is progressing with the side swipe design - the cadillac headlights have been replaced, the rear fenders have been enlarged and trunk level raised, lots of length after the front wheels for a front-engine layout. I would do a power folding hardtop for the convertible version and the split rear window for the coupe. I appreciate that it is futuristic - it is the next vette - only retro feature being the split rear window and sting ray name. GM: go with this one!

That is one of the most cobbled together looking designs to ever be foisted on the automotive world. The front and rear are terrible.

I love it!

Next corvette has to be different, look at Ferrari FXX or latest Lambo - they are not shy to experiment!

Agreed. I'm shocked by how many people seem to like it. I suppose ugly is the new pretty?

Remember, it took a lot of refinement to get from the Mako Shark to the C3. Obviously, the real car will have a taller windshield and the front and rear bumpers will definitely be toned down - remember Bumble Bee has a much more radical front end than the real Camaro. I think the important thing to agree/disagree with is the mixture of roundness vs. angles in the body. For instance, the Lambo above has a lot of straight lines - this c7 has its own style and looks original - a good thing. Honestly, add a windshield, tone down the exaggerations a bit, and then envision the car in your favorite vette color - would you like it then?
