Default is this true callaway?

http://m.leftlanenews.com/callaway-c...aerowagon.html

And people thought the purity/tradition was ruined from taillights. Now its a possible wagon? Granted aftermarket but still...

I really like it! I could probably get TWO bicycles in there instead of just one in my C6. Looks better than the FF too.

I've seen these based on older Corvettes and they all look like complete ***.
The justification was that somewhere, someone at GM doodled these up as a prototype sketch that - thank god - never went anywhere...

If I wanted a station wagon I'd buy a CTS-V Wagon. Not for me. The FF was a flop for Ferrari BTW. Ferrari required customers to buy one if they wanted a chance to buy a F12.

Reminds me of the Caddy CTS-V coupe that tends to be a love it or hate it look, only more so with the shooting brake. Likely won't be too many opinions in the middle.

Seems that a lot of members here have already forgotten about all those persons who wanted the C7 to have a back seat option

NRA members and dog people will like it if it is marketed correctly. David Brown had an Aston Martin DB 5 converted to a Shooting Brake because he took it hunting. His rifles and dogs could go along for the ride. It went into production.
Rolls Royce started it with the first 'shooting brake in 1910 so that a bunch of English lords could go hunting.




Check out these modern Shooting brakes.

You will have to offer a air suspension with it.
