Looks more and more like a Dodge Viper every year.

GMs Design Department needs a serious overhaul.

Every year? It hasn't been redesigned since like 1992 or something.


I like the current one better. It still looks good after all this time. One of the best looking cars out there.

The Corvette was last redesigned for the '97 model year

Interesting, although they're really just guessing at the headlights/front fascia and we have no idea what the rear really looks like.

The C5 is a beautiful car, but it hasn't been out very long.

Fixed headlights are probably a good thing (ala the new NSX, also keep in mind the headlights you can see are an artist's concept - The real thing is probably different. The concept sketch looks to much like a Camaro to be the real thing), but I don't see how anybody sees any Viper in this.

Glad to see they are finally getting rid of the flip up headlights.

Still only like the old Vettes. New ones are just blah looks wise IMHO. Although I in no way doubt their performance, just never been a fan of them from the 80's on :(

I think the current design is way better. I especially don't like the new headlights and blunt nose.

The Corvette reminds me of a door wedge... I just picture it driving right under a truck instead of passing it.

I don't like the long rear glass or the longer windshield.. I have that kind of design in my Camaro and no matter how dark it's tinted, it feels to sunny in the car.

Too bad the viper looks more and more like a Honda S2000 every year.

I am waiting for the C7 myself, or the next model. Not that I am going to buy it, the prelim sketches were very nice.

It will be a relief if this model makes it. From earlier drawings I have seen I thought Chevy was going the thick and chunky route, like the Audi TT, with the Vette.

I like it. Classy. I personally have never liked the styling of the corvette...this new one is definitely a step in the right direction.

To be honest, the only Vettes I covet are the '57, '58, and '59. The rest are just, "OK."
