Look at the size of the B-pillar! There's no way Chevy is going to put a car on the road with a blind spot that size. Motor Trend probably got a picture of a disguised car and used it for their artist renderings.

No Sir,
Don't like that.

The orange one looks like a cross between a C5, a C4, and 300ZX an the blue one looks like a cross between C2 and C3 stingrays. Just say no to RETRO.

No way on the rear. There's gotta be better visibility. Front looks OK.

I kinda like the Stingray look of the fastback, especially with the fins (see R&T drawing) along the side instead of the C5-ish molding. The b-pillar itself doesn't look so large; it's all the extra body work that surrounds the glass on the hatch (the coupe still appears to have a hatch). So perhaps this would only exist on a special, Stingray model and a traditional all glass hatch on the standard coupe.

Either way, I think it's not overly retro (certainly C3 inspired) and identifiable as a Corvette despited fixed headlights. 300ZX did cross my mind at first glance of the frontend, but so did RX7 with the C5. It should prove a nice car and will grow on people when the see it person I bet.

another crack-induced sketch. if the C6 has any of those dysfunctional cues, kiss GM's credibility goodbye

Compare the drawing

Looks like Ford "MIGHT" not be the only one going retro.
