It should have looked like this - this is a computer rendering by some German guy of a Ferrari 612 GTO, a car which I don't think even exists. But it looks more like a Corvette than any Corvette I have seen roll off the assembly line in the last 25 years. Just a gorgeous design... wasted. http://www.beautifullife.info/automo...2-gto-concept/

My thoughts exactly...

The vents in the tops of the quarters look to be functional and I like them.
From low front the car looks 53-55 ish... with the round appearing grille and headlights on the edges.
I hope they make a FRC Hardtop etc...

IMHO The removal of the Alice Cooper Makeup from the taillights would help immensely.

Not wild about it, but I hated the C3 when it hit the street. Ended up owning two of them. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

This kinda bugs me.

Agreed....just take a look at any of the late 50's to early 60's car styling....individualistic...and interesting.

Now, everything looks like everything else [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]


You come up behind a vehicle driving in front of you...is it a Lexus, no wait, it's a Nissan, no wait, it's a....

I really don't care for it. I hate the tailights and from the side it looks like a nissan. I hope I'm wrong and they sell a bunch of these but I will not be buying one.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: ORIGLS6</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Not wild about it, but I hated the C3 when it hit the street.
