I was hoping for more of a Stingray type car...so was my dad. I see a black ZL1 in our future.

great improvement. I think it's enough to draw in new customers while not alienating the die hards that wanted to maintain the "heritage" design... It's not the stingray concept, but it looks better than the current gen. Now, if they give it a CTS-V class interior or better, then it'll sell well. I'm sure.

I'm glad they got rid of the B-Pillar... it was looking outdated.

Oh and it may just be me, but that rendering looks perfect for a Targa top setup...

I like this better than the stingray concept. Not sure why everyone was crazy over that design.

I like the overall shape, but they need to get rid of some of the extra details. There is a vent everywhere you look on that thing.

The interior had better be better than the CTS-V. It's interior sucks compared to other luxury cars. The Volt and Cruze have better interiors, not material wise but looks wise. JMO though. The Corvette is an amazing performer so is the CTS-V neither have impressive interiors. The XTS though....

you know...that magnetic plastic they use to make Corvettes.

I find it funny when supposed "automotive authority" types screw up like this. Kind of like when they talk about the legendary V6 in BMW's.

I kinda like it, but I'm not too sure about how close to production that rendering will be. I assumed that it would probably look something like this, an evolution of the C6. But the person that made that rendering could have made the exact same assumption and went from there. Not saying he can't be right, but renderings like this is rarely better than 'kinda right'

i don't believe that's what the next Corvette will look like.

looks like a C6 front end, a Gt-R side window, and a Camaro rear.
