Interesting idea. The front looks very Alfa Romeo. They should have gone the hidden headlight route. Rear 3/4 views look good.

I don't think pop up headlights are allowed anymore, hence the fugly nose.

That thing is ugly. Lets leave designing Corvettes to the Corvette team at GM.

Corvette needs to avoid the whole retro route imo...especially that stupid split window design. That car looks worse from just about every angle when compared to the standard c6.

Thank you. I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that about the split windows.

I'm not a fan of the idea of ruining my rear visibility in the name of style.

I could live with a split window Vette from the factory if the split was functionally used to add strength to the frame of the car... but I'm guessing this split window design is just cosmetic?

It's basically if the Corvette took a cue from the new Challenger and went retro. I don't think that's a good idea for the Corvette and that's why the split window idea has me worried about the design.

I wouldn't bash "retro styling" as a whole because of this one failure. I think the Stingray concept that was in transformers 2 looked awesome and was reminiscent of the C3.

I actually like it... quite a bit, in fact.
