If that's really it, I'll be more than happy to keep my C6 for a long time.

Those are the tail lights that should have been on the current Camaro. As for the whole concept, not for me if it looks like this.

I have a bad feeling that this could be an accurate depiction.
If so, I too will keep my C6, as that isn't a Corvette I'd want to own. God that rearend us butt ugly! (no pun intended).

I think what we see in the video is probably very close to what we are going to get. Mixed emotions on my part at this point. I just hope it runs/handles like a monster. I could get used to it in a few years if it does, I guess............

They announced they are closing the plant to tours Sept 14 and on to begin converting and that the investment will add 250 jobs. Adding 250 jobs will add approximately $1,000 to every corvette's cost...at present rate of sales plus ten percent. If they don't find a design that resonates with us owners, that factory one day will be making fertilizer, not cars. It can't be profitable at today's sales rates.
My opinion. The designs on this thread unless there is something seriously marvelous to offset it might be announcing defacto the end of the brand.

I don't see how GM can still believe they have a winner here when so many people are not liking what is supposedly coming down the pipe.
It may be the most awesome machine they've ever built, but if it's looks don't appeal to a large portion of the current owners of said brand then how do you hope to sell them?
Is GM just saying good buy to the "loyal" purchasers and current enthusiasts and trying to get a whole new customer base?
Looks plays a major role in appeal of a performance car....of all places to have a need to "get it right"....and this is where we're supposedly heading? I mean for me....If I had unlimited funds, I would still not buy a Veyron; just because it's so super fast (the worlds fastest) means nothing when it's that ugly.
I'll take a better looking slow car over a fast ugly one any day.
