Because it's a global car...and Europe can't have the pop up lights. Also, I thought it was a federal mandate now....US law says no more pop up lights.

Maybe,,,,,,,,,I'm completely wrong. I dunno. Good guess?

I like it as it has potential.. I think the current corvette design looks too European and this looks American.. I love the high wheel humps in the front and hope to see that survive the re-design of the Vette..

How recent is that picture, do you know? I've been wondering about the TF2 movie a lot lately, and was wondering if it was even still being made... does anyone know if the recent hard times has shut down the new TF?

Movie industry seems to be unaffected. TF2 is going to happen.

Back to the topic at hand I pretty much agree with most of you when I say the front looks horrible. But if the car is really this small it should be extremely light. Which is a nice advantage to have. Too bad it looks horrible.

Wait do you mean the 'vette in the TF2 picture looks small? It looks like a fricking boat to me.
