Looks like a cross between C3 and Aston Martin. It's gotta be difficult to come up with a truly new design.

Mediocre on a good day, it's not a Vette. I'd ask Mr. Fisker to style the next Corvette.

If thats the case you can probably put about 4 turbochargers and a midget underneath that long hood.
Call it what u want, but its a nice prototype.

Definitely a beautiful design, unlike the hideous GTR. Should be a real rocket. Most FE/RD sport coupes will have similar proportions, so it could look a bit like a Vette, but we don't know until we see more angles.

The guy you are quoting says he likes it...does this mean you like the design or you don't?

Looks sharp to me. It definitely has lines of a Vette, from the curves over the wheelwells to the hatchback design. But then again, the Japanese cars usually copy others (more typically German cars, though).
