I kind of like it - it's very different. But not sure I would pay the premium for it.

Another example of just because it can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.

Thanks. Based on the inquiries this week alone, it'll do fine

Most have a practical reason for wanting the shooting brake hatch, but others, well, they just like the styling

I'll admit that it's certainly grown on me a lot since the first renderings hit. Plus, it's certainly unique. Speaking from experience, I've only seen one(!) other C7 Callaway Corvette since I've owned my car in Chicagoland, so having this would only up the rarity ante that much more. This will be a freaking UNICORN at Corvette shows in the future, that's for sure.

As for me, I can think of a few more Callaway parts that will make their way on my SC627 before this one will.

Looks better than the Ferrari FF. I like it.

Very interesting. Thought the front page would think so too...

What is with people and turning all these nice cars into "station wagon" wanna bes. First Mercedes and now Corvette? Come on now... I dunno about you, but I'm getting real sick and tired of this whole "ovesized butt" fad. Its gotten so bad that its even affecting what we drive now.

I'd rather not be driven around in a hearse until the day I actually die. Thank you very much.

I didn't think it possible that the c7 styling could be any worse. I was wrong.

Well, I kinda like it. We have a Jetta Sportwagon and love the added cargo space that it has. We have been looking for another wagon, but it seems many manufactures have ditched them for SUV's.

This may just be a perfect match for our needs. A two door wagon with performance!

I'm stunned that theres apparently enough of a market out there for this to ACTUALLY be a thing...

Needless to say, it aint for me.

I've seen both side and rear shots. Maybe its just me but I would prefer if the roof line was a bit higher or more level front to back.

While the concept works for me, I will have to see an actual photo or see it in person. The computer generated images do not look like it could be returned to factory, but they say it can. Something is not quite right, look at small windows just behind the doors. They appear lengthened on the Callaway compared to the stock C7.
