Default Real pics of the C7

In case you don't look at the C7 threads. Check out the latest Road & Track. They have a couple of pictures of the new C7, due out as a 2013 model. It has hints of the concept, but toned way down. It's slightly smaller and lighter, about 3,000 pounds.

Well, maybe but I really doubt it. No one exc. Audi's making a grill like that. Reminds me of the "Bangle butt" now long gone on some cars.

Yeah, it looks like a C6 that someone hit the front and back with an ugly stick. It's not a very "integrated" design.

they are just doing this to make C6 sales go UP! Cause anyone who says they are holding out for a C7 and then sees that pic is gonna rush and by a C6 while they still can

i doubt this is the real design though.

The Ferrari, on the other hand, looks bad azz..

In case you don't look at the C6 threads, be aware that pics of someone's concept of the C7 have been posted here 8-10 times already.

But thanks anyway. Most of us here know where the C7 forum is if we want info. about the C7.

That looks like a good way to kill the Corvette just like they killed the XLR...

they need to put something out to all the young designers and see what they come up with. To me that car screams old man -

'the C7 was going to be mid-engined'.
That's original, since every 'next' corvette has been predicted to be mid-engined for the last 40 years or so.

This is just some auto mag's SWAG at what the car might look like. They probably have some details right - it will have 4 tires, it will be called a Corvette. Beyond that....hopefully they are waaaaaay wrong - that rendition is just ugly.

Looks Chinese with the slanty accents on the bottom of the hood and the big toothy grill
