Kinda looks like they brought the Cadillac designers in for the job.

They need to go back to the smoother lines like the C5 variant!

I'm still hung up on the beautiful lines of the pre-'78 C3! Man, the flare on those front fenders...

Nobody's mentioning it on the Corvette forums I visit...but, going back to look it over, a good fiberglass man could turn a C3 into a close resemblance of it.

I would hate to pay the insurance premium on it. Personally, I don't like it. I would rather have one of these instead. Oh well, when my ship comes in. Hope the pier doesn't wash away first.

Skateboard wheels would look about as good as the conestoga wheels!

I thought Corvette recieved a large infusion of Cadillac talent/personel on the build up of the C5.

The design looks like they are trying to build a corporate identity between the new Camaro and the next corvette.

I don't think the wheels are really larger than current production. They do appear to be trying to shrink wrap the body, much like Ferrari is doing with the 458 Italia.
