I get a magazine from the NCM (as a member) and they interviewed Tom Peters who designed this car (C6 too.) Tom says this is a concept car, but not a C7 concept. In the movie, the car is called "Sideswipe" but the car's real name is "Stingray." So Tom says that "Stingray" played the role of "Sideswipe" in the transformers movie. The car is in NO WAY a representation of what C7 will be. It is just an exercise in design and engineering. That's not to say that none of its design cues could make the leap to C7, but there is no expectation for any of its design to show up on C7.

Actually, they have said the split rear window will likely be in the C7. Nothing else though.
We'll only know for sure when the actually reveal the C7.
I think parts of it are great...the overall body including the top. But the front and back ends really need a lot of work. How bout this for a more conventional treatment?
