There's been so much drama and chattering about the next-gen Corvette, I almost can't even stand it. But this seemed worth passing on: Carscoop's Josh Byrnes wondered, what if the C7 brought some serious retro influence to bear (in this case, the 1969 Manta Ray concept), rather than just being an evolution of the C6? What do you think: does this work better than another pointy silver supercar concept, and is it closer to what you'd want the 2014 'Vette to look like? Via Carscoop.

By: moorethanenuff 9/11/2012 10:18 AM This seems pretty acurate since "Bubble bee" from the first Transformer movie turned out to be the new Camaro, then "Sideswipe" the Vette from Transformer 2 (where this design came from) is probably the next C7 Vette. |

By: TasakiDog 9/11/2012 10:57 AM Don't like this concept one bit. Looks like the designer got stuck using only a ruler. Uck |

By: krush454 9/11/2012 11:46 AM I like it but I think its just not quite right. Something about the roofline is putting me off. I wouldnt mind if they gave it a bit of the old school taste, let it flaunt a little of the Sting Ray heritage, but I dont want an overly contrived attempt at retro like so many cars have been in the past 15 years. |

By: MrAMC1 9/11/2012 2:14 PM I think they should model one after the C2 style Vettes from '63-66. |

By: gold94corolla 9/11/2012 5:55 PM I don't see anything retro about it. |
|
|
By: fortyfordsedan 9/11/2012 6:07 PM I agree with Mr AMC, I am not a corvette guy but the 63-66 are some of the best looking cars ever. |

By: cknarf 9/11/2012 9:30 PM make it look like this: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb57526/hotwheels/images/0/08/Twin_Mill_II_DkBlu5dot.JPG |

|
By: ChaseHammer 9/12/2012 2:55 AM I have a pretty good hunch that the C7 will look Sideswipe-ish. @cknarf that looks like the batmobile hehe. |
|
|
By: gmo415 9/12/2012 3:04 AM Looks similar to the 2012 stingray concept (do a google image search ) so yes I bet this is close to what's coming |

By: HypnoticScoinic 9/12/2012 6:33 AM I agree gold94...I don't see anything retro about this either... |
|
|
By: 8-TRES 9/12/2012 6:41 AM Looks a little Camaro-ish. I'd leave the Corvette alone. There is not too much you can do to really improve it as far as looks. If they got money and time, let's see them build a Firebird or something totally new. |

By: rics8 9/12/2012 6:58 AM bring the front fender arch down a bit and separate the headlights and corner lights and it's ok |

By: haddytech 9/12/2012 7:00 AM What a terrible photoshop. |
|
|
By: Saleen975 9/12/2012 7:24 AM Ugh... looks like a Camaro and Corvette got BUSY! This mix up was the result. No Likey... I would like to see the Corvette get a bit more agressive lines, supercar'ish but not this... |
|
|
By: The_Mad_Modder 9/12/2012 7:28 AM Looks nothing like that manta ray. Where's the hideaway lights? Another hideous retro attempt. |
|
|
By: hsmarlon 9/12/2012 7:34 AM Looks like the Stingray, in fact they need to bring back the Stingray. |
|
|
By: RIP-Pontiac-2009 9/12/2012 7:54 AM I SEE ALOT OF GTR IN THE FRONT FENDER. |
|
|
By: wflores 9/12/2012 8:15 AM Looks like another piece of Gov't Motors crap! Looks like an old man's sports car......and what's with that big open mouth and grin on the front??? Is it happy? |
|
|
By: LN7_NUT 9/12/2012 9:27 AM I like it, so much better looking then the boring Vette design that has been stagnating for so long. |
|
|
By: carfreak73 9/12/2012 10:05 AM Don't know about everyone else, but I am burned out on all the retro styling. It was a fun little trip down memory lane, now it's time to move the needle forward with brand new designs. |

By: SEKProbeSe 9/12/2012 11:55 AM I wouldnt waste me time or money I really dont like em all they are is a death box on wheels |

By: omicron 9/12/2012 12:55 PM You could take off the corvette logo and slap on a Cadillac logo instead, looks like it could be the next Cadillac XLR. |
|
|
By: Surfnut74 9/12/2012 2:29 PM I love it! |
|
|
By: soulcalibur 9/12/2012 4:01 PM yall stop yer whinin.... it could look like this... http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/10/video-rossi-sixtysix-visits-jay-lenos-garage/ |

By: redhotroy 9/12/2012 10:32 PM having a good share of the 65/7 350 vets ! I say that in rememberance of thoese great old cars that did not handle so well , this conception remindes me of a mako shark 427 that I was luckey enough to have owned ! and I loved it !!! |
|
|
By: Comrick317 9/12/2012 10:44 PM I don't like it.......... but sorta do like it. Sorta looks like a Vette , but not. Yeah i know that makes no sense. |
|
|
By: DiabloVT007 9/12/2012 11:26 PM I would buy it ! |
|
|
By: EmperorJJ1 9/13/2012 4:20 AM anyone else think Cadillac Cien concept when they see that pic? |
|
|
By: WB9MCW 9/13/2012 1:16 PM Too angular IMO Got that Caddy-Vette look. |

By: Pittrigg 9/14/2012 11:28 AM i thought it was a cadi too..the side is nice but the lights n grill are throwing it off..i want to see a render of a new fiero..ya ya everybodys probly thinking it was a failier, but in reality it was doing better than the vette the only reason they stopped making them is bcuz they were outselling the vettes, GM was worried n didnt want that.the 88 GT had better shape than the vette(wich was a failure) it looked more like a camaro with flipup lights and a flipfront, GM get your shit togeather quit making the same car n selling it with different badges n trysumthin new or bringback something you stupidly agreed to discontinue |
