THe grill doesn't seem to look right... I think they need to change that. Or just aftermarket replacements like the Camaro has. Aside from that and the shock of the missing dual dual tails, I like it overall. Definitely corvette from the side but a very futuristic look to it. Cool.

That's not a C7 prototype...

It's GM's centennial concept. It's technically not even a vette...

Here's the scoop: http://www.motorauthority.com/transf...l-concept.html

This is actually pretty old news.

^ sorry if it is in fact old information. I wasn't calling it a c7 prototype though, I was just giving it a title based on what I saw in The BOSTON GLOBE.

Even if they aren't calling it a vette, it is definitely a derivative from the vette styling, I mean split window, the grill, cabin shape, and the fact that it seems to say Stingray across the rear... So I don't know. Either way it is the sole reason I will (again) subject myself to another attempt by Michael Bay to ruin my childhood(the transformers) ok so i exaggerate, but still cool concept to say the least

I lost the love for the Vettes looks since the C6. C5 is the best looking.
