No we are not, but I can see a market for this car based on what Porsche has done.
Many people don't know this, but back when the C5 was in the initial design stages, models like this were under consideration.
Chris - Will this be packaged with a motor package only or can someone just get the body package?

I have seen some other concepts like this and I think that there is a market for this IF it were to include additional seating. Making this a 4 passenger vehicle is the most logical selling point, as I don't think that the additional space or controversial styling would really bring the buyers.
For me, having a Corvette option with 4 seats would justify getting one as I have a 3 year old and a wife that isn't too keen on me buying a toy that only I can enjoy!!

I like it. FF-ish. Callaway has been around a while--I think they know what they're doing. They wouldn't be proceeding if there wasn't any interest and I seriously doubt they take any cues from this ball-busting forum on what to produce. I know I sure wouldn't, given some of the rude and downright shameful posts of the past year. 
This is just my opinion. Please respect it.
Down right secksy!

Hey, more power to em if they make a dollar on it, but it's literally pointless.
It adds more storage space height wise, since the roofline slopes down less. So now you can stack things higher, and block your rear visability completely.
Great for Callaway if this sells, doesn't bother me. I'd just like an explanation as to what's the purpose?
