Default Glimpse of the New C7 Corvette

Watch this trailer for the next Transformer movie, and you'll catch a glimpse of the Corvette they are using for one of the Autobots ... http://video.yahoo.com/watch/4409363/11824579

There was a Vette there? Happened so fast I must've missed it. Looks pretty cool though.

Ya ... I it is only a quick snippet ... you see the bot transforming from about 0:18 to 0:14 ... Micheal Bay's cuts are overwhelming sometimes ... you don't get to enjoy the view.


Here is a view from some of the production stills that someone leaked a while ago...

Yeech, that is really not my "cup o' tea". It's as though a Z06 had sex with a Cadillac CTS and this was the offspring. Not that I don't like the CTS, just that the angular lines just don't flow. Now I know why I like the C5/C6. If this is a C7, I ain't buyin'.

It's a complete one-off done for the Transformer movie - it's not intended to reflect design elements of the C7 in any way. This according to some GM rep. who was interviewed a few months ago regarding the Transformers movie.

I don't understand why everybody hates it so much.
It looks strikingly similar to a C3 stingray from 68-72. Now that was a beautiful car! I quite like this concept. jmho.

C3 is an ugly car by today standard... dont confuse nostalgia for a classic car for being in style today... I like the look of all the old coats from 1700s, but I wouldnt get dressed up and wear it out. They are taking the retro thing way to far.. im sure an actual production C6 would look nothing like this monstrosity.

Also, the glimpse in the trailer is actually an Audi R8. Notice the 4 rings.

GM is broke. No C7 unless you pony-up more taxpayer dollars...

Its a styling exercise. Nothing more. When and if there is a C7 some styling cues from the show car may show up in the C7 but it won't look anything like the car in the new Transformers movie.

I like it...but wouldn't buy it. Be interesting to see just how much it will change when/if GM produces it.

It's definitely an Audi.

You can see the 4 rings and the LED strips below the headlights.

Very easy to see in the 1080p trailer.
