I don't see any lines that would suggest a "trunk".

If you play w/ the picture and zoom in on the right spot you can see the lines Crypt is talkin about but if you look closely enough you can also see the line of that big *** back window...

OH ****, MARTHA!!

Keep me away from the Chevy dealer, and better hide the checkbook.

I can resist anything 'cept temptation.............


I like it. I especially like the 500 ponies it packs under the hood.

From the other pics that're out, its going to have the sloping rear window, but the roof is fixed. So its still an FRC, just not identical to how the C5 was.

I thought maybe they had something up their sleeve.


Also there is writing on that Sticker. Its way to small to read.
