What was GM thinking....

I know this might be locked, but I'm sorry but I HAD to post this you guys. Look at what the GM butchers are up to now. Granted, this is only a CG image....but this is what the new Corvette is supposed to look like. *Cough*AcuraNSX*Cough*

I've seen accualt pics of the C6 from a san fransico commercial shoot, and it looks nothing like that (look something like that) but the real car is a million times better.

According to the CG images too, they kept the C5 rear end. I hope that's not the case. They need a revision back there.....it's getting very boring.

obviously you were dead wrong, actually the sad thing about the f-body that im starting to realize is that a large portion of the reason it failed is because it didnt appeal to women enough! I'd say 1/3 of the mustangs i see if not more are v6's and being driven by women, unfortunatly it looks like gm would have to cater to the non car enthusiast market to even have a chance at competing with the stang.

Sales SUCKED through the fourth generation. It's sad to think that all the 4th gen F-bodies manufactured for the ENTIRE WORLD were made in just one plant: St Therese, in Canada.

the NSX already ripped off the vette look from the 80's and now it looks like acura and gm are just sharing engineers

Sweet, I love the edgier styling on it. Really like the way the lines flow from the fender vents to the rear deck.
