[ejfx]

Im still not sure if I like this concept car...However I know I will when it gets the Corvette name carved into the rear.

That is bad arsssssss!

People on this site had a love-hate response to the CTS Coupe Concept at first, as did they to a lesser extent with the Converg. Next up is this concept. I absolutely love them all, and if all are brought to market in a relatively unadulterated state, I predict not a single one would require incentives to get off the lot, not a single one would be without a waiting list, and GM would essentially be minting money when they produce them.

A job fantastically well done, Welburn et al.. Simply gorgeous!

Couldn't agree more. As far as design, GM has abandoned chasing the Japanese and their derivative styling in favor of some of the most dramatically styled vehicles in decades.

Now, instead of a 2 mode, I want to see a EREV complete with a small displacement DI V8 with MDS. All wheel drive with a serious increase in hp should be available. It's trivial with electric drive. Let the Vette lead the way for sports cars.

Personally, I'd love to the scissor-style doors make it to production. My only gripe is that people will say that Corvette is 'copying' Lamborghini. Maybe they could 'Corvette-ize' the shape of the doors to make it unique of Lamoborghini's design?

I think a Hybrid system is a must-at least as an option-and of course tuned 100% for performance. Do it GM!!

Looks like the handiwork of the team that did the GTO concept several years ago.. 1999-ish. Some of the design cues especially the tail section.

while I just LOVE the rest of the car, I can't take the rounded exhaust tips seriously... they look like something that came off of a 90's hot-wheels car

With a little tweaking here and there, I can definitely see this as a C7. I really like the look of the interior, even though it may not carry over as shown.

I can't wait for the C7 so I can buy a C6 at a reasonable price!

It really just needs to be copied/pasted into the C7. That's the type of interior a Corvette needs.

Every time I look at this car it just gets even more appealing, but I do think that the back end should be toned down a bit.

I was 10 when the 1963 Stingray came out, so I remember first hand just how brave and ballsy it was compared to ANYTHING on the road then...if you are too young to remember that too, just Google 1963 sports car images and you will see what I mean. This Stingray "concept", put into production nearly as is with little of GM's usual tragic watering down, plus putting the Converj in production SOON, and a jawdropping XTS, would be a wonderful way for GM to make clear that they are back and kicking ass.

It's a little wild for production, but there are a lot of great ideas rolling around there.

The way the form that pops out at the front works is particularly interesting because it solves the EU crash standard problem of how to do a sports car with a blunt nose. Sweet. The C7 may be very EU marketable - it's said to be 7/8 the size of the current car and 300 lbs lighter. Double sweet.

The more I see this car the more I like it. The interior is awesome!

My newest addition is proof that GM is back and kicking ass! No watering down here!
