There is literally no point commenting on fake renderings on the internet. The fact that this phenomenon continues has always made me laugh. Just go tell a 6 year old on a playground to draw you something in crayon. Will be comparably relevant.

Isn't that a Lamborvette?

'Possibly the reason it doesn't look too bad to me...:wink

Whatever it looks like it'll be fairly homely for sure to keep up with tradition

'Best looking rendering I've seen so far (gray/silver car in 1st photo):

www.automobilemag.com/news/2019-chevrolet-corvette-c7-zr1-c8-zora-expect/

Now...if G.M. will put an engine in it the 1st year and the dealer doesn't demand my house as payment for his ADM...

Like Dave said, these renderings are all a bunch of crap. I've seen the raw body and it doesn't look like any of these pics but they are on the internet so they have to be true and correct! lol

My favorite is still the new Bronco pic:

Agreed. Very likely more than a bit too cool...especially for G.M.'s 'bean counters'.

(Paint it black and it could almost pass for Batman's next ride. :wink)

What's happening in January? (I lead a very sheltered life...)

Oh, that.

I thought you might have been referring to some 'official' notice about the mid-engine car that G.M. had recently said it would be making in January.

"...we're almost certain the car you see here is a mid-engine Corvette."

"Certain" might be stretching it a bit given all the camo.

Whatever it is, looks like a copied 488.

It's standard mid-engine Ferrari from the side, Vette from the rear, angry insect in the front.

It looks fairly compact, which is good.

Nevermind. Found another picture. Not fairly compact.

Car & Driver May 2018 says mid engine Corvette for 2020. I don't think it's serious. They also speculate a new Viper.

Various sources had previously predicted 2019...2018...2017...and 2016 before that.

At this point I'll believe it when I see it. :bored

It's been two years from now for the past 12 years (since the 05-06 FGT).

Yeah, how 'bout that. On occasion some mighty weeeird "Twilight Zone" stuff happens on the 'net, duzzunit.

Several years ago my "Mark IV Lifetime" membership managed to vaporize from my avatar as well.

I'm convinced 'foreign hackers' must be to blame my own darned self... :biggrin

Well then Mr. Pockets, good to see you take a peek :biggrin

It took 5+ year for the NSX to show up for sale since the 2012 Super bowl commercial with Seinfeld, Leno and the no. 1 guy on the list. GM needs to get going or kill the project already.
