I can see where you're coming from in THAT respect. But what does it matter if they redesign the 'Vette after one that was emasculated? It's not like it's going to get the same powertrain.........

you might look at it as...giving the design another chance?

Ah, it was just a language thing then. I heard "worst style" and I thought appearance. I know that design is often used interchangeably with both style and engineering, but styling is the opposite of engineering/mechanics (which is the basis for your complaints). We all say that the C3 looks cool, and if GM is looking for inspiration for new bodywork on the Corvette, thats not a bad place to go.

That Corvette looks too wild.

That's a no brainer, but it's NOT what I observe happening in society at the moment.

Not sure what people are smoking around here, but that Bumblebee looks mean as hell. How the majority can dislike the BB bumper, and LIKE the changes to the convertible bumper is beyond me.

Same, I don't understand. If anything, the new Bumblebee looks 10x better than the normal car.

stovt001 · 06-23-2008, 09:46 PM

No, the Bumblebee changes are way overdone. It seems way too riced out and basically screams "look at me!!!!!! I need attention! Please believe I'm fast I really am. Why don't you pay more attention to me?"

The SS front end, on the other hand, is subtle and purposeful. It gives the impression of a performance machine without announcing it through a bull horn. People who care will notice. People who don't won't be offended.

Heck Yeah! That's exactly what I thought it was. I was taking some classes up at ETSU last year and I drove up to the lake one day and took these pictures. Look familiar?

You shoulda read the uproar over the slight changes on the ZR1.

I actually like some of the design, and I LOVES me some new Vettes!

I'm done side-tracking about Vettes. let's talk CAMARO!!!!
