I've been a 'Vette fan most of my life, including over a dozen old ones I've owned.
This one has an interesting look, which does project some "attitude", but I bet that if it influences production models, they will be a little less "busy"....and that "smiling" grill has gotta go! ...a little too cartoonish.
Overall, not bad.

Looks to me like chebbie needs to hire some new designers.... With all them sharp edges, a guy could get hurt just washing it.... Only thing I saw that even looked decent was the split window....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Wow, first thing that comes to mind is the Batmobile, and I don't mean that in the good sense. I know it's just a concept car and all, but......................

Yeah, Bruce Wayne will definitely be ordering one of those for his 'day car' !.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I like it! It reminds me of Speed Racer's Mach 5(original cartoon, not Hollywood version). Any car that comes out as a concept will be butched down by the time it hit's production, if it hits production. Here is one that got away!

I like it. It's new & different...
I agree with Barb; I hope it gets produced. I also agree with NCHARDHAT; after '82 Corvettes became ho-hum.
The '03 commemorative model that had '53 style nose and tail was really cool, otherwise, everything from '84 up is BORIIINNNNGGGG !!!
Actually, though, it really doesn't matter what I think. I've never been able to afford a Corvette and probably never will...Jim

It's not too bad looking. A little like one of the Cadillac concept cars that was made a few years back. Until recently my favorite vettes were the 53, 63 and 73. I admit the new ones (C7) are very nice looking. My favorite was the one never produced. And that was the mid-engine Aerovette that was developed in 1976, but did not go to production. It still looks just as good today as it did then.
