As a corvette owner of many years, the only thing I like about that rendering is the color. In this economy there must be lots of bored designers sitting around with nothing to do, speculating about what future car models will look like, well car design is a collaborative process involving numerous artists and engineers and many thousands of hours, this is why design is often tempered by practicality, and the result is an organic whole which is pleasing to the eye; the current Corvette c6 perfectly embodies what a corvette should look like, succesfully combining heritage as well as contemporary lines to make the car actually LOOK like a corvette.
Those side windows are dreadfully impractical, and the way the distracting front end combines curves and lines is a case study in mismatched contrasts. It doesn't look like a corvette, and the only heritage I see here is the egg crate grille. On the plus side, I can kind of see where they're going with the rear of the car, I like the way the fenders flare up and down in that series of broken curves, and I do like the way the door includes the b-pillar, if I'm seeing that correctly. The roof panel appears gigantic, and one only hopes that it's not removable, because it would never fit in the rear hatch. I think I like the side coves as well, upon first glance they appear too Eclipse-like, but I do like the way it gives a wing-like "lift" to the area just above it. I think there's some interesting design elements here but that horrible front end just puts me off the whole endeavor, it looks like a Pontiac Aztek trying to smile.
