[aaron59640]

what is this nigger doing out of the slave quarters?

[NewOrleansboii]

@aaron59640 LOLOL you mad?

[themethod]

@aaron59640 he's working as GM's Vice President of Global Design

now you, what are you doing outside of the zoo?

[broloda]

I owned a 2007 c6 Corvette. I just wanted to tell Chevy a few things they can improve on. First, the interior design looks cheap and the roof rattles a lot. I also got tire of taking the roof off. (I couldn't afford the convertible). The Corvette has poor handling feel, and it doesn't inspire confidence. And please don't put that ugly split window in the back. I have a hard enough time looking out the back now.

[FlameNinja345]

i like it except for the headlights

[NewOrleansboii]

@FlameNinja345 Yeeah, they need to change the headlights. It looks horrible

[Tr3ySw4g]

i hope they don't fuck over the corvette because this thing looks like a piece of shit it looks best the way they have it now.

[madarauchiha1218]

i LOVE this =D

[VileMisanthropy]

Headlights look terrible.

[gurjotsehmbi32]

The back looks like a Citreon GT

[tapdancegirl88]

sting your pocket to

[bking560]

i cant wait for them to make this modle no matter the price it will be one amazing piece of machinary

[jasontman36]

BRING BACK THE EL CAMINO! .....please.

[Tony2RawClark]

@jasontman36 u is right my boy

[VetteBoss12]

wheres the taillights?

[Snoopy7666]

The wildly exaggerated body lines will be modified quite a bit before this concept goes to production...IF it goes to production... as the Corvette C7. However, if you look at the lines of the Sting Ray racer and then the '63 production car, you can clearly see the family resemblence...Building one or two of these for a movie is not the same as gearing up a production line to produce perhaps 30,000 units for public sale. I'm looking forward to the C7 - I've no doubt it will be stunning...

[demonwolf12tails]

I am not hoping to see this car anytime soon when they put the C7's out i hope they don't look like this dear god no Please dont ruin the vette GM!!!!!!!!!

[MegaRubbersoul]

ugly! I'll Take the one next to it!

[jwhitner]

That car is sick! I want one!!!! Very nice!

[Bad97C5]

The overall concept is fantastic. The problem is the same problem with the 5th gen camaro. The back of the car. The C5 and C6 are almost completly flat and the 4 and 3 are mostly too. You were to take this car keep the split window but keep the back flat without the extras it would save costs and make this design look a lot beetter. I own a C5 and plan on purchasing a C7 but they have to keep the performance and the wide tires, the hybrid ive been hearing about is bs and a v6? wtf!

[FlyingAero]

This looks 10x better than anything lamborghini and ferrari are pumping out. try a better video before you judge. this one isnt very good

[FlyingAero]

What are you guys talking about. It must be the video and the aspect ratio cus that car seems nothing like what the comments are talking about. try another video

[billygoatdawg081992]

Hi Ed. Why does the new Corvette look like shit?

[BydaWayAce]

Looks like a shark, but what were they thinking... ;p?

[Blackcuda]

I don't remember any concept Vette looking like a production car. I do think some things will be taken from the concept for the C7, but not much.

[TheOriginalGagoots]

Oh God........No.

Unless G.M. wants the Corvette to be the laughing stock of the auto world....I wouldn't take any styling clues from this at all. PLEASE NO!

[bedlam360]

I will not be trading my C6 for one of these ugly babies!

[RUBYBALLER34]

i absolutly love corvettes, there hasnt been one corvette that didnt appeal to me. but this concept looks absolutly terrible. the two air inlets under the taillights look rediculous and so do the two in back. the headlights also look ugly and way to simple Frequen07 is right about the body style of the c6 being almost already stunning. i think the c7 should have only a slight change to make it look futuristic but other than that this car looks rediculous.

[Frequen07]

As much as I am a fan of the Corvette and the styling it's had, this one breaks with tradition on too many levels. The Corvette never thought backwards in tems of styling, they've always had a new look prepped for the 'Vette, with ever-increasing performance in mind. With this, they've abandoned one of the trademark visuals of the 'Vette, the quad tail lamps, and they're attempting to resurrect a namesake rather than redefine it, as they achieved with the new C6 ZR1 replacing the C4 ZR-1.

[bronxboyXXX]

It would be nice if I were like, 5!

[magicargo1232]

riiiiiiiiiight.............. what cars do u like mini coopers!

[epiphone112689]

Its nice I like it a little but I think GM is jumping to forward they should make this a C9 not a C7. If i was GM I would find a way to make a ZR1 faster and with the same or even better handling yet with a new look maybe more aggressive look or even make a corvette with dual color like white an red kinda like a classic C1 that would be nice.

[tehelol1]

how the fuck you open the door?

[chingyme]

maybe the top open like a can opener and you just jump in lol

[Harutmakina]

This car looks better than the C6; But by combining the C6 with the Sting ray it looks like a TVR Tuscan Lexus LFA hybrid; which eh not really too crazy about. The bes Corvette every made is the 1963 Grand Sport Roadster. BEST Ever

[Jdubthe1andONLY]

does anyone know of any way we can stop this?

[Jdubthe1andONLY]

its pure something but stingray is not the first word to come to mind. if that god awful ugly car hits production i will lose my faith in corvette. long live the c6

[muscletruckdude]

them dumbasses at gm better not do this. this is going to ruin all the aerodynamics and engineering that made the c5 and c6 such good performance cars. especially the c6. the new z06 and zr1 are beating exotic cars on road courses. if they try to go retro with the vette, thats all gonna change. its gonna be too heavy and un-aerodynamic and they should try to improve the c6. not throw away the perfect mold that they currently have

[RunerRacerPeniguin5]

I think it looks too choppy if it was like on the back with old style spit hood and big fenders that went right to the start of the split window at the bottom and the front would be like ( -------- ) and would be like this \______/ (like the modern corvette) the lights would be old fashon style

[lifeisataco]

woh........took me a minute to find the headlights.

haha looks like the old batmobile

[comet5o4]

It's not bad, I just dont like the two openings in the front and back... They just kill it...

[scuzzbopper5150]

I just got back from the Chicago Auto Show. Unfortunately, the straight poop is this:

This car was specifically designed to be in the new Transformers movie. As of now, GM/Chevrolet has absolutely NO plans to produce it.

Pix and vids don't do it justice though, as you'd imagine. You really need to see this thing close up and in person.

[thebestman]

i agree with you too. here is my take on this vette. i think GM is a stupid. stop displaying that flag emblem on the corrvette in the transformer movie because it's not a pace car anymore. freaken retarded GM. the flag kills the point of alien technology in transformer.

[stepahead2be]

Excellent design, hope that it makes it to production. Us europeans are becoming bored of european supercars. Bring on the American muscle to europe..

[thebestman]

here is my take on this vette. i think GM is a stupid. stop displaying that flag emblem on the corrvette in the transformer movie because it's not a pace car anymore. freaken retarded GM. the flag kills the point of alien technology in transformer.

[bungholio1989]

that qualifies as evidence? you smoking crack. that flag emblem has been on the vette since the very first ones were produced. has nothing to do with being a pace car. if anyone from gm read that comment, gm would probably think you are "a stupid" too.

[thebestman]

i smoked crack and crack up at you along with gm are both just whack heads. gm should've thought about the ugly flag on the stingray because it does not resemble any alien technology in the story line. transformer movie is suppose to be alien technology for your information. i would not go watch that movie just because that dumb flag, gm, and you idiot. instead i would go grab a boot leg version of transformer2.i hope sting ray get's dump in the movie like gm is getting hammered by foreign cars.

[bungholio1989]

calling people names on the internet makes you look real intelligent. just so you know. and gm designed this car specifically for the movie. so far there are no plans of producing it. the idea of transformers is that the robots take on the shape and form of earth's machines to be unrecognizable. camaros and mustangs and f-22 raptor fighter jets dont resemble aliens either. thats EXACTLY why they take on those shapes. prove that im an idiot. youve already proved yourself to be one.

[bungholio1989]

gm is getting hammered by foreign cars? wtf? you werent lying about smoking crack, thats for sure. again, unless you can provide me with proof, shut up your mouth.

[colin82793]

Wow, maybe you should have been in the movie. Someone that can only speak broken english would seem like an alien... The flag isn't really visible in the movie, and it's an important part of the corvette's heritage, and goes back really far. Hope that crack thing works out for you.

[XxESKIMOxX]

they scan the car to be an exact copy of the original. therefore explaining why there is a flag on the "alien bots" not because they just appear to be made from gm right off the sky.

[rabidbigdog]

Thank God GM will be bankrupt before THAT abomination makes it out of that guy's homo wet dream. Geezus American cars just suck.

[robotmonkey73]

Dude other than super-expensive unrealistic european cars, ALL OTHER CARS LOOK LIKE CRAP. PRIUS'S ARE THE UGLIEST CRAP HANDLING CARS EVER MADE. This is what a real car is.

[bungholio1989]

american cars suck? scientific evidence, please. otherwise, shut the hell up about things you know nothing about.

[blueiz4]

omg i think im in love

[flipmodeboy]

pureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx perfect design

[Coches]

i like the idea of bringing back the stingray : )

[SuperMuise]

"this is pure sting ray"...

i was thinking

"that is pure sex!!!"

[schokoxyz]

tight car :P:P:P
