Best Design By Far
Things tend to come out rude when you just read a sentence and I mean no offense by the following statement. I don't care what anybody says about this picture. Ferrari this, Lambo that, moving back not foward with design, copy cat, I'll buy this instead, poser this that.
Picture this C7 Z06 rolling by on AWD moddified Twin Turbo putting out 13-1400hp! With a mean azz exhaust revving up to 9000rpm
GM If you create this, I PROMISE you that no matter how many people say negative things about it now. They WILL end up with a purchase This would be one hell of a stunt to pull off.

If it cost $65K like the current Z06 does...yes, I would. But I would get irritated after having dozens of people come up asking me about my lambo each week.

It wouldn't work as a front engine platform. See how short the nose is? This is a design for a mid or rear engine car. If the motor is in front, and it's larger than the typical 4 banger, where exactly, are the driver's feet supposed to go?
The biggest let down on car design I have seen these days is Lotus's new Esprit. It has clearly been designed by a dude who had a picture of a Lambo, and ample amounts of tracing paper. I'm very dissapointed in Lotus.
As for this design as a whole, sure...it looks sexy, but it's just a frankenstein of other cars. What we want, I think, is an original design. In an era were everything is being copied from something else, I think that would be the most radical idea yet...a fresh design. Oh, and those wheels are never going to be standard on a truly massed produced, production car...

I am all for a revolutionary rather than an evolutionary design. However, the C7 has to retain some styling cues of Corvettes from the past without looking retro. I would lean in the directiion of what you have shown but that car doesn't look at all like a Corvette.

The part I see is okay, but why not show the rear/tailights. That is what would make my decision whether or not to like it.
With all the totally fresh new look of the body, they HAVE to retain the iconic Vette tail lights! OO OO

The hood is absolutely atrocious. It looks like an animal's nostril.
