P1, 720, etc...setting the bar crazy high for a base model Corvette...I don’t think that is realistic. Those designs are too wild and extravagant. To me, a toned down Ferrari 458 vibe would be more...

I predict the ZR1 will be a massive sales disappointment with people holding their money until they see the Mid engine. Wait a bit, you should be able to get a really good deal. $145k is...

Porsche tires look like they have beefed sidewalls. Subtle, but beefer.

If not 60s, definitely 50s, correct? These are two seater cars that are expensive...it stands within reason to expect the primary buyer is an older gentleman with disposable income and no requirement...

The top of the B pillar bar is not flush with the quarter window area (there is an over-lay)...if that is how the retractable hardtop sits...assuming it is a retractable hardtop, not great execution....

^^^ That is rather boring looking, IMO. If it looks like this, I’d pass. This car is all round. Needs to look more like a Ferrari in my option, or at least a blend of sharp and smooth lines.

Yeah..ok. You don’t need a retractable hard top for a power rear window. I am starting to talk in circles. I am simply saying you can achieve this LOOK without a retractable hard top. Nevermind :D

I think you are missing my point

A retractable hard top would, in my view, add only one benefit. That is, the ability to move the top up and down without physically leaving the vehicle. Yes, that...

I didn’t say it would not be possible. I just think it does not meet the keep cost low and keep weight down philosophy.

Exactly...thanks. Targa comes off, rear window is power and it can be brought down. No goofy soft top. Such a design would probably swing me back to a convertible.

Yes, there will be a convertible. However, I don’t think it will have a soft top...it will have a removable targa and the vertical rear window will retract down. No retractable hardtop
