July 17, 200817 yr I don't know what the significance of these cars might be beyond being movie cars, but Damn! I found this over on CZ28 posted by member detltu. By CaminoLS6
July 17, 200817 yr Yeah, the side profile looks awesome. But I've got a couple gripes: the front and back look retarded and it looks like there's NO chance of fitting anything under the hood (and it doesn't have ME proportions).
July 17, 200817 yr Author Yeah, the side profile looks awesome. But I've got a couple gripes: the front and back look retarded and it looks like there's NO chance of fitting anything under the hood (and it doesn't have ME proportions). Looks like there is room for an LSx to me. I love the look of the profile and front end, though the back end may bit just a bit over the top. Not boring in any way, that's for sure.
July 17, 200817 yr That's REALLY sweet! But if Autoweek assertion that GM is stopping development of V8s is true, then count me out.
July 18, 200817 yr Author I've been thinking about this car, and I wonder if it is a Vette-styled version of the Saab Aero-X? Note the roofline/wraparound windows.
July 18, 200817 yr I would tweak the rear but besides that it's awesome. It's very futuristic looking and aggressive. I like that it's a fresh take on a design that hasn't changed much in over a decade.
July 18, 200817 yr I love the 50's style teeth in the grill and the body is beautiful! I see Saab Aero X and the SS concept sedan in the body profile and front fenders. I am on the fence with the rear end. Too much going on back there for my eyes. Something along the lines of the 67 would be kick ass!
August 7, 200817 yr WOW!!! This design makes the current Corvette look like a 1st gen. Ford Probe by comparison. I LOVE the Corvette, I really DO, but both the 5th and 6th gen. redesigns are just slight departures from the 4th gen. All that talk of 2nd gen. |DNA in the 6th gen. before it as unveiled made me think the C6 was quite boring... it's performance is SO much better than its styling depicts. PLEASE GM, PLEASE, build something THIS radical... it will sell better than ever!

August 8, 200817 yr Very interesting.... the images at Leftlane that I linked to are no longer there. Must have gotten a little too hot and close for comfort for somebody. The image Camino posted first shows most of the detail that were in the new one, for those who did not get to see it. I agree, this is a step that should be taken to make the Vette more credible; however, a friend who has a C5 ZR1 thought it was a bit dramatic. There will always be purists. If the Vette takes this direction. maybe this means that we will see a Caddy Cien after all. Hey, take a look at the new Aston Martin One-77 and you can see it is time to move forward.

August 10, 200817 yr Too well thought out to be only a "movie" car. Could be GM floating one of its rumored three design proposals for the the 2013/14 Vette.
August 10, 200817 yr Author Leftlane pics are back up. And they say this is the " Corvette Centennial Concept", and that it will debut at the LA show.
August 10, 200817 yr maybe this means that we will see a Caddy Cien after all. Eh... the Cien was awesome but not even half as cool as the Sixteen, there's a million "EXOTIC" mid-engined V12 supercars out there but the Sixteen was a car the likes of which we have not seen since the era of coachbuilt Dusenbergs, 452 powered Cadillac dual cowl phaetons etc... It's was a billionare genetleman's family sedan, a car with the potential to be considered adult, not a toy or a sports car, a car that was something a Rockefeller Aristocrat or J.P. Morgan would be impressed by.... The Sixteen made the Maybach look lame by comparison, like a BMW 5-series makes a Lincoln MKZ look stupid by comparison.
August 22, 200817 yr A Mako Shark for the 21st century. I like. But if the cars behind it are any indication, Transformers 2 is going to be pretty awful.
August 22, 200817 yr Off topic, but: Aston is owned by american investors now, right? From Wikipedia: On 12 March 2007 a consortium led by Prodrive chairman David Richards purchased Aston Martin for £475m/USD$848m.[13] Prodrive has no financial involvement in the deal.[14] Ford will keep a stake in the company (valued at GBP 40 million / USD 70 million). The consortium also consisted of John Sinders, an Aston Martin collector; and two Kuwaiti investment companies, Investment Dar and Adeem Investment Co.
