It really does nothing for me. Not because it’s an unattractive car (it’s actually quite the looker from most angles [up] ) but because it just looks like every other “supercar” out there. It really does look like they just took various aspects from different cars (including the blatant-copy Viper front end) and blended them all together. No originality, no distinctiveness.
I do have a few other complaints too.
My biggest criticism, from the pics I’ve seen anyways, is that the interior is AWEFUL! It has a few tasty bits but for the most part it just SCREAMS “low rent”. It was especially appalling in red. [down]
Also, those Camaro-ish taillights look like a desperate attempt to create “brand identity”. Their cheezy looking, just like they are on every other car they’ve tried to incorporate them on (Malibu anyone?) They ruin the back of the car for me.
One more thing, 450hp is not impressive for a “sports car” any more. Not when a Mustang/Camaro/Challenger can be had at ½ the price with 400+. Heck, even pickups are pushing close to 400hp now. 450 just insn't an impressive number, even if it is enough to get a lightweight car moving quite well. of course, 450 is plenty to go 54mph in the slow lane so their core demographic will be pleased.
I think the Vette should start out with 500 or so and go up from there.
To all of those who don’t like the sharp edges on the rear. That’s actually an aerodynamic feature. Those sharp edges help the airflow break away cleanly from the rear of the car and reduce turbulence in its wake. They do look a bit “off” with the rest of the car but they at least have a function.
