I don't really care, and it'll probably look the same. But bare in mind this car will probably end up being the poster boy response whenever anyone asks the question; "Which car gives the most bang for your buck?"

And we haven't even gotten to the 'ring' times yet.

"This week, unbeknown to General Motors, we saw the next-generation Corvette completely uncovered. That's right — no camouflage, no car cover, no anything to keep us from seeing every crease, every line, and every vent"

Then they post a couple of sketches. They were a bit economical with the truth, weren't they?
Stretching the truth to a ridiculous extreme was my first thought - it's a concept sketch! However, it does look really nice and I've always loved Corvettes, so if it came out looking like that I'd be more than happy. However, if it's a 2014 model, there is plenty of time for them to change the design yet.

I especially like them titling the page "first photos".. Yeah, sure hehe

Not quite sure how the same GM employee who left them alone long enough to take sufficient sketches to make that render would be any more likely to lose their job if they'd given them five minutes to take some photos instead..

Certainly hope it's accurate, it's at the top of my most wanted list for when I get shifted over to the US.

I prefer the Mustang drifting up a hillclimb course video:

Well according to the story if anyone had bothered to read it, they are renderings made from actual photos of the car. Reason they are renderings is because if the actual photos were published it would be obvious who leaked them so jeopardising their job.

True or not, I don't know? However it looks good although just a more angular and chiselled version of the current car.

I quite like it. I like the fact that it sorta looks dated...but in a cool way. Kinda like an old Z car or something of that era. I understand why they couldn't take actual photos of the damn thing but given how intricate the renders are....I don't doubt this is the car.

I hope they don't reuse the Camaro tail lights on the 'vette.

If that is in any way real, that is very depressing.

Fussy, tacky and completely lacking in anything approaching nice design.
