I picked this up from another forum. Supposedly, this is the cover of a European Magazine.

Posted by MM (Member # 1247) on :

That looks pretty close.... the dealers get to see it this week in Vegas. [Big Grin]

Posted by ss_rs_z (Member # 1888) on :

Looks sharp. [Big Grin]

I will have to show my brother. He's into Corvettes like I am into Camaros. [Big Grin]

Posted by JohnS (Member # 1073) on :

Can you say 'Corvetillac'? [Frown]

Posted by 2K1SunsetSS (Member # 854) on :

It is different and it is definitely a corvette. I think I like it. [Smile]

Posted by Kurt 99 SS (Member # 2069) on :

I kinda like it.

Posted by FireChicken (Member # 2067) on :

I liked it better the first time I saw it, when it was called the cadillac cts...

Posted by wickman43 (Member # 2003) on :

Looks great and very unique. I like it already. [Cool]

Posted by jimb0 (Member # 176) on :

I'd buy it...

...and I'd love to have the Super Bee and Challenger R/T on the cover too... :drool:

Posted by 2002Z4CSS (Member # 1393) on :

The front end kinda looks like a Pontiac Sunfire! Whatever the C6 Corvette will look like will be a winner! [Cool]

Posted by KevinA (Member # 139) on :

if thats true then I want a C5. Looks to much like the caddies [Frown]

...I think it looks a lot like the new Viper myself...

Posted by XthHawk (Member # 2070) on :

Or to me it looks a lot like the Acura NSX.

Posted by Mark IXZD 150 (Member # 235) on :

Hey, I like Vettes AND Caddys. I'll take one! [Big Grin]

Posted by ss_rs_z (Member # 1888) on :

If I had the room I would get one. [Big Grin]

Posted by DanPazich (Member # 1352) on :

I think i'm liking it. I'd definitely have to see it in person to confirm that though....or more pics. It's a good mix of curves and edges. Front end could be a bit more 'smoother'. Just my 2 cents. If I had the money, I'd get one!

Posted by JeffY (Member # 120) on :

Doesn't look anything like what I had at Skyline!! [Wink]

And we all know it ain't nearly as fast!

Posted by MMMM_ERT (Member # 1599) on :

Looks sharp...though it is kinda retro.....looks
sorta like the 68-72 Stingrays.

Retro is okay by me.

Posted by ss_rs_z (Member # 1888) on :

Well if JeffY had something different at Skyline then I guess we will just have to wait and see what is truly unveiled. And I know we can count on JeffY. [Big Grin]

Posted by KevinA (Member # 139) on :

I don't like the angles on it. I prefer rounded edges.

It's a secret.............shhhhhhhhhhhh........

Posted by WeaSSel (Member # 902) on :

That front-end has got to go! At least the headlights. It really looks like a cadalac to me. The rest of the car is looking good, I like the angles for a change.

More fuel to the rumor mill... I remember reading in one of the magazines that the C6 would have fixed headlights. I also heard (strictly a rumor) that the '05 C6 is now slated for an early introduction!! The sharp-edged look really ought not to be too surprising, since the XLR is made on the same line as the XLR. Some of the C6 spy shots did not indicate these sharper lines - or they were camouflaged very well!
As well, I have heard that the base model's GEN IV engine will have power levels approaching that of the current Z06. The Z06 is supposedly taking a short hiatus (nobody seems to be able to say for exactly how long), but will return with even more power and be able to compete more closely with the Viper.
In any event, it sounds like GM is upping the ante in the performance department, which ought to help those who are not thrilled with the new styling to forget about that real fast!
[Cool]

Best regardSS,

Elie

I think the Z06 will be on hitias for one year.... as for the motors they will be changing names.... thats all I can say. [Wink]

Posted by NATESS (Member # 982) on :

that is sweet looking. i like it. but of course we all know that concept versions never look exactly like the real thing when it comes out.

Posted by Chief Strobel (Member # 2078) on :

I understand that Vette does some platform sharing with the Cadillac CTS. So it's no surprise that there would be some resemblance to it.

Agree, let's hope they don't sharpen the lines like that. [Frown]

Ditto - the Vette should flow - not have jagged
edges. I don't even like the new truck front end
look. Angles don't do it for me. My $0.02.

Posted by T TOPSS (Member # 1674) on :

Is that the NEW PONTIVETTE?

Posted by Jim Mac (Member # 113) on :

Don't like it, especially that front end. Also, the side scoops look way too much like what you'd see on a Ferrari.

Posted by Bill Mason (Member # 1807) on :

I think I am going to like it. I can see elements of the C3, C4 and C5 in it, yet at the same time taking the styling in a new direction.

I alos have a feeling it will look much better in real life than the pictures would suggest.

I seem to recall something about an LS2 being the engine for it!!

The XLR not CTS. Basically the XLR is riding on a slightly moddified C6 platform.
