    That rendering resembles the '08 Spectre Werles GTR with its sharp lines and especially the front end fascia/headlights. Like Killain said, whoever designed the new Camaro should stay away from designing the C7 Corvette. I'm not a fan of the sharp lines of the Camaro or the above rendering. Maybe that's why I own a C5. As the Corvette progresses, so should the overall smoothness of styling. Sharp lines were ok for the '60s. JMHO

    I believe that a Corvette should have hidden headlamps. It's been a part of the design for so long that it seems synonymous with the Vette name. How about a hidden license plate frame like the headlights on a C4. Cop coming.....flip him the plate.......cop passed flip it back to hide.

    No way would it have the 7-11 year life of other Corvettes.

    Looks kinda "too similar" to the C6. Since we found out it's powered by a 5.5 litre engine, I hope it's light. Very light. I can't wait for direct injection in a V8!

    Man, you said a mouthfull. If this is what's down the road. . . I'm not in the market for something that looks like this. I think 'Transformers' is best left in the movie theater ! How does ah , ah thing like this get through a air tunnel testing ?

    I concur. This looks like a c6, which I refuse to buy. Exposed headlights are too busy and totally unsleek. Even if I made up a word, I think it is apt. Sorry but I am kind of angry about the c6, and I hope it does not persist in the c7. jmho
