Default Poll: Jalopnik Rendition or Stingray Concept?

Post your preference. In a perfect world, what would your choice be? It would also be interesting if you post your age and whether you purchased a c6 or c5 new to get an idea of whether you would be a potential purchaser of a c7.

For the record, I am 49 and, while I have purchased only used c5's, I will be in the market for a new car by the time the c7 is scheduled to arrive, 2013.

I have owned 52 Corvette's since 1965 and Love all of them that I have owned, I now own a 65 Coupe and a Grand Sport 2010, They all have there good and bad traits. the C7 looks Great to me and would love to own one also. I have own most years from 64-2010 just wished GM would use more US made parts on the new ones.

The Stingray concept is, no doubt, a cool looking car -- but it's a movie car and it belongs in a movie, not in your garage. I never wanted to see the C7 realized as the Stingray concept because, honestly, I don't want to look at my car and think of 'Transformers'. It's tacky.

Sorry, but every time I see a yellow / black Camaro coming down the street, the first thing that comes to mind is 'here comes the car from Transformers', not 'here comes a cool looking Camaro'.

Stingray concept pre-existed the Transformers 2 movie. Michael Bay worked it in, just like he did the Camaro concept.

Purchased a new C5 in 2002 and a used C6 this year. Still have both cars.
Age 66.

While I believe that Japolnik may have hit some points of the new C7, I still think it will be different than their renderings.

40 years old, 3rd Vett (C5 z06, 2 C6s). Bought all 3 used, but anticipate purchasing a new C7. both cars look good. However, Jalopnik's rendition seems like a true corvette blood line. Sorry, but I really like the fact that Corvettes are reconizable. Stingray concept is like a whats popular now and in a few years, will begin to look outdated. A C1 thru 6 will always generate some type of interest. Rendition for me.

Sorry, cannot vote because you should also have a category called "Neither." The Transformer is a Hollywood toy never meant to be mor than a caricature and the Jalopnik Jalopy, as many seem to agree, is a major, major fail.

Your choice is equivalent to asking a condemned man if he would prefer to be hung, or shot in a chair - same result, so it is not really a choice at all. I thought that GM had canned the Pontiac Aztek designers after that design travesty, guess the union made GM keep 'em.

The Stingray concept is fugly. Easy choice. This isn't a vote for the best poll, IMHO; it's vote for the least awful.
