The vertical stripes makes it look taller than the C6. I've also never seen a 'vette this boxy since '84. Where's the curves???

Also of note, the methods used to drop the weight is now very clear. Ditched a ton of that weight by dumping the fiberglass and steel frame for recycled notebook paper and a spiral aluminum frame.

If you check out Road and track's main page, it appears from their tweets that they are holding off the release of their Feb magazine until after the big reveal.

GM must be playing hardball with them as far as keeping it under wraps until then.

I am SHOCKED nobody has analyzed the shadow on the wall of the truck and drawn conclusions about a 2+2 configuration. C7 section has gone cray cray.

The rear of the car looks kind of wiry in that rendering.

I don't like it. Looks like an 80's CAMARO!

I don't know why Jalopnik even bothered to post this - after all, they already showed us the car long ago, and have reminded us of how awesomely right they are over and over and over and over again ever since...

Maybe...Jalopnik is still offering money for an actual photograph of one. Be careful! I'd hold out for cash!

Wait a minute. I thought Jalopnik said a year ago it wasn't publishing PHOTOS of the C7 for fear that someone might lose their job, so they just showed renderings to protect the guilty. Now they are admitting that they don't have PHOTOS of the C7. Which is it?

I read it that they may have photos they still can't publish for fear of someone losing their job. They want someone else's pics so they can use them without worry.
