It looks like it may be smaller. Other than that.

not liking the 4 tips on rear so close.

I need to get myself a car cover like that for the winter haha

The jalopnik rendering looks a lot like this even with camo. I guess their info was pretty accurate.

It looks like it's sportin' the same body type.

In reading the article, the car is longer from the dash to the front wheels, so it is actually larger. This may be a good thing.

The width of the front track, coupled with the longer nose...does anyone else think AWD may be an option here? That would certainly make it bite off the line!

AWD would be awesome. But I know most US enthusiasts hate that idea...

Yes, unfortunately they would roll over in their graves if they heard such things...I'd expect something like that from Cadillac before Chevy.

Same thing I thought when I saw the pictures, as it's being tested in the snow. I wonder if they are seeing how well the AWD will perform in the most harsh environment. I'd love to see how hard an AWD vette can lauch off the line.

It looks higher to me and I feel like the front kinda had a porche look maybe it's the cover but idk

Kyle2k · 01-19-2012, 02:04 PM

It would be really cool if they had it with AWD, and then they could utilize some of their naming for editions like a GT3 car that is RWD, etc...

Not my cup of tea, but it would be cool to see it offered.
