[nktran001]

The exhaust is ugly.

American autos need to stop with this retro/tribute deal and come out with NEW designs.

Do you have the same sentiments about Jordans? I don't have a problem with future thinking when it comes to automotive design, but a lot ofcars got progressively worse before they went back to what's tried and true.

Ford Mustang
Generation 1: Classic styling
Generation 2: Ugly
Generation 3: Uglier (save for some of the later 5.0s)
Generation 4: I liked the 95 - 98, then they got ugly again with the edges from 99-04
Generation 5: Went retro and really got it right, but this new model they got out just doesn't have the right styling....

Chevrolet Corvette
C1: Classic
C2: Classic
C3: Classic
C4: Horrible (except for the zr1/grand sport)
C5: better...
C6: perfection
C7: eh

Chevrolet Camaro
Generation 1: Classic
Generation 2: only 1970, everything after started slipping
Generation 3: pretty nasty, late model IROC was alright
Generation 4: 93-97 had nasty headlights, 98-02 didn't really get it right either...
Generation 5: did a pretty good job bringing it back

All of the Dodge models...great styling on the Challenger, that's about all (Charger is ugly).

Retro seems to work.

Same could be said for Jordans I guess....1-12 worked ok, 13-23 are pretty nasty, and they keep retroing and re-releasing the 1-12 because they sell.

Originality in just about all of American styling is dead.

 

[alchemist iq]

Looks like something out of Minority Report. Its a concept, a very ugly concept.

 

[sooperhooper]

Looks like they're trying too hard.

 

[si3xers55]

I think it will look MEAN on the streets

 

[russ tha g]

How does it not look American? It's a modern version of the previous Stingray... They can't just retro a car like a pair of sneakers. They ahve totweak it to make it look contemporary. I think this looks much, much better than all of the previous Corvette ideas. Especially since the ones for the alst 10years have been virtually identical.

 

[theword]

Anyone else think it looks like a car from Speed Racer? Not the new crappy acid trip one but the old cartoon one.

 

[ijumpman]

I think it's pretty nice, I really like that the Corvette is returning to the split-window, but hopefully in the production version we will see thecircular taillights. I'm kinda worried that it may be slightly far ahead of its time. Can't wait to see the final version, if GM decides to go withthis design.

 

[youngmogul1]

different for vette but I like it...not bad

 

[air sti]

no

 

[arrjae]

imo
sexy.....

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Nice...but a Vette has to have a variant of the classic tail lights IMO. I always say when I hit my midlife crisis I am going to buy a Vette.

 

[throwedindagame]

The production model will be more conservative, so relax.

Chevrolet HHR - FAIL
Chevrolet SSR - FAIL
Ford Thunderbird - FAIL
Chrysler PT Cruiser - FAIL

And please, save the sneakers analogies for someone else.

 

[fittednoob]

I still think it looks hot

 

[let me post]

Hideous.

 

[ieternalv]

vette will always = mid-life crisis car to me. this vette is beat up, they better not push this to prod. bring back the OG look, word to the stingray.

 

[smoke ya later]

the rear doesn't look good
