Chevy needs to do something radical and more global or wallow in the sales #'s they've been getting for the past 2 gens.

Maybe the C5 & C6's look "American" and "Domestic", but that's not cutting it. They build an amazing supercar in the C6 and give it ho-hum everyday looks. Then they build an asphalt destroying beast in the zr1, charge a grip and expect people to flock?

There's a reason Ferrari's and Lambo's look the way they do. They SCREAM exotic. The SCREAM supercar and desirable. The soft, collaborative, homogenized aesthetic of the Vette needs to change.

Hell, the Lotus Elise gets more love than a C6 Z06, in my neck of the woods and that little slot car is NOTHING.
