Default C7 Corvette rendering and meet with GM Corvette engineers
http://mag1.olivesoftware.com/am/get...sttxt&ov=002JE

After the page loads, go to page 63, 64 & 66 for pictures.

Also its about time for the expert corvette forum guys to let GM know what they want in the next C7 corvette.

Win an all expenses paid trip to meet with GM's Corvette director and director of racing...

Don't think that's a spy photo. It's more like a rendering. In any event, I think it would be to pick up the side vent styling from '65-'66.

Nice, but no radical style change, IMHO.

I like the way GM keeps the Corvette looking like a Corvette.

That's awful. No way the people at GM would simply take the C6, make the nose more stubby and add some side gills and call it a C7...

Default letter writing time
this yellow rendering looks pretty sharp...the rear is a disgrace to any
design team.....i'm shocked and very disappointed........the new leader is more interested in performance(which is fine)but somebody get a new
design team---hurry,before they actually get it in the pipeline!

time to write....

The front rendering of the yellow one makes it look like a dang lamborghini.

Doubtfull this design will grow on you..

Looks like C6 has a baby brother...who somehow they managed
to make look both too blocky and round and tubby at the same time..

Took some doing and years to manage this ?...
