Some of the Concept's details did trickle down to the C7. The double fender line is one thing and possibly some form of the taillights .

I'm not denying that, but the concept car itself, is horrid looking.

Love the concept...the more of the styling that makes it to the real C7 the better.

I'm not a fan of the gull wing doors being on the corvette. Not enamored with that rear end either.

I am glad this was brought up because I have been looking closely at this concept for a few years and am still not close to understanding the rear of that car.

That "toy looking" car could probly be used for some scientific robot movie or something like that But it is way to "hotwheels" silly looking for a real car. I'm glad it was not used for the C7.

I don't expect gull wing doors or extreme styling detail to make it to the real C7...just some hints will suffice.

Side looks good if they could fix the front & back.

Anyone that loves to work on their own cars would love the tilt front end. Just tilt, sit on the tire, start the music and let the operation begin.

I bet if they kept the price reasonable, somewhere near current costs, people would be mortgaging their houses to get one of these.
