C7 Corvette
So jalopnik claims they have pics of the C7. We'll have to wait until noon on Tuesday to see.

They decided to render what they saw in their photos. They had both the base and ZR1 and went with the ZR1:

Re: C7 Corvette
hmmm, what's the track record with this site? I'd think if it were for real GM would try to stop them, so why give them the chance to instead of just showing it? Either way it's a lot of traffic to their site on tuesday.

Re: C7 Corvette
I'm not sure what to think. If it is real, then I'm guessing a cell phone pic leaked out of GM.

Re: C7 Corvette
From Jalopnik this morning:
Like we told you late last night, we secretly saw the C7 Corvette first-hand this weekend. You're going to want to be here at noon when we show you the images we've commissioned. They're as close as you're going to get to the real thing until it's officially unveiled in 14 months.

Re: C7 Corvette
Regardless of whether this is legit or not... I'm not sure how I feel about the design.
It's not ugly or anything, it looks sporty and all...
I guess I am just not feeling any sort of overwhelming 'wow' factor.
It's not bad though.
Not sure how I feel about the rear side windows.
I dont think the taillights look bad, but I've always perferred circle taillamps for Corvette.
FWIW, the A-pillar looks identical to the C6's... which was identical to the C5's.... so, if this is true, there are going to be visual carryovers in the design again.

Not sure what I think of the rear of the greenhouse.
Just doesn't seem right without the wrap-around rear bubble glass.
I guess the flying buttress theme ('68-'77) would have looked cool, too.
Almost looks too generic in the rear greenhouse area.
