Matt: Exactly what's wrong with 50+ year old men?

its a bit premature to judge the Vette yet, Mat :-)

I'll wait to see the car totally unmasked in person before deciding if its an Asstech sportscar LOL

Is there an uglier sports car out there, than that car? Does GM ever intend to sell a Corvette to anyone other than 50+ year old men? GM couldn't have missed the mark any worse than they have. They can forget about ever getting todays youth as tomorrows owner.

William, I guess I was right on that one. It's funny I first noticed it about 2 months ago.The rear crease starts in the same place of the door exactly like the vette. Seems like there are very few cars they don't borrow something from someone.

Check this out. Look at the rear fenders closely in this photo, looks very close to the 550/575 rear fender which is a good thing. The front fenders have a nice sharp crease to them also.

But Pininfarina seems to have borrowed the 550/575 rear fenders from the 65 Vette :-)
