Still fugly as heck.

If this is the future of the Corvette, my odds of ever buying another new Vette is zero.

When I buy a C6 I better take care of it, because from the looks of all the C7 concepts, I'll be keeping it for a very long time...

Like the front and sides. Love the rear glass/side panels,tired of the rear hatch window "bubble" of the C4-5-6"s. The rear still needs to be toned down with less over hang behind the rear wheels. Love the wheels on the second pic in polished. Not a fan of chrome on a Vette.I hope GM is looking at us. We are the ones buying !

I'm sorry... I don't see the Corvette changing that drastically. If so, I will definitely take good care of my C6.

Default Yikes!!!

Man alive! The door entry on the top picture looks pretty low. Guess I'll have to learn the limbo to get my 6'4" frame into a C-7.

I'm sure the styling will end up being everything we hope for in a next gen. Vette..... I just hope they put steering wheel audio buttons on the base Vette, if $15,000 Hyundai's have them, why not the Vette? It seems silly to reach for the radio **** on a $60,000 car.

One of the major benefits of the Corvette over a Porsche is the fact that you can leave the house with a little more than a gym bag (22.5 cubic feet vs 8.5 cubic feet). Removing the "bubble" would severely reduce storage space. I'm sure that the storage factor plays a big part in many purchases.

These are concept rendurings of two different cars. There is no way the first car can be the second one. Two distinctly different designs. I like the first design. Logically, a doable evolution of the C6.

That nose is going to slow your track times because the air will build up in the cowls (left and right nose mold)
