Default Corvette concept in the new Transformers movie

Very interesting article. If they borrow cues from this concept for the C7, we may have a winner. That is if GM doesn't go bankrupt by that time...

This concept really makes me want to see this movie as soon as it comes out.

I don't care what it's suppose to be, I think it's ugly.

If I painted it black and gave you a Batman custome would you reconsider?

I like it. I am tired of the similar corvette shape for the past 10+ years.

this thing could be refined a little more, but Looks good to me.

Cooper,

Then you MUST be tired of the Porsche shape after 40 years and its incorporation into 3 other models.

I don't like it one bit. They better not make it.

Perhaps electard tesla and Lancer Evo Power haven't seen these 2 images:






This car is amazing. I would just change up the front of it. Too much Giugiaro GG50 in the front for my tastes.

I liked it, it's new, fresh and have GM's face on it. But as Cooper said it need to be more refined, in special the front, the headlights and exhausts they are just weird. I see future for this concept, and... rear vents... hmmm.
I like Corvette's shape but it's not a very harmonic design like the 911, and it gets old and boring quite fast. the 911 also is getting boring but it has so many possible variations that it's always contemporany, not special but it is able to keep up, but I still prefering the Cayman's style over nay 911.

Hmm... Not bad. I think it could go far with some refining. They might want to try it as an exclusive model, and see how they do.

Or go the Aston Route. Build 100 of them and price them around 2 million dollars.

^^ holy random comment batman. Comment meant for the one who likes the worst movie of the 21st century.


the exhaust could use some touch up, im not saying its bad, it just looks "placed" there.

electard tesla would like to post a different opinion of the car now that I have seen Butch's pics.

The front pic looks horrid. The side and the back look slightly better. There will be changes before it is produced, however...
