@dyslexia,
that just looks wrong.

lines are off, and the back door is clunky...

Looks like one of those breadbox hybrid suv's. Just plain wrong from bumper to bumper.

@dyslexia,
the front-end of the 4-door corvette reminds me somewhat of the studebaker powerhawk .
perhaps they hired some designers that grew up with studebaker designers .

any resemblence ?

they can always do a chop-job on the 'vette to make a new studebaker , can't they ?

btw. i thought the studebaker was a good looker ... but a mechanical dud .

@hamburgboy,
the studebaker hawks were magnificent ahead of their time cars.

@dyslexia,
That's just plain an abomination! Plain ugly bastardization of a beautiful car that is the Corvette.

@eoe,
I have to disagree with you here.

The Honda Element is probably the most functional car I've ever seen. I don't own one, but want one dearly. I'm not a vain as most, so the look of the car doesn't bother me, but functionaly, it's hard to beat.

Was the Corvette the car used in the tv series Route 66? If yes, a revival of the series could now include four, rather than just two main characters.

@maporsche,
How funny. That's what I drive. A Honda Element.

The breadboxes I referred to are those hybrid suv's, part sedan/station wagon, part suv cars that are so popular now.
