Looks a lot like a C6 with a car cover on it.

Front brake rotors look smaller than the rear.

Don't look like they strayed far from the C6 platform. Must be taking a cue from Porsche.

That's because what appears to be the front of the car is actually the rear. That's the big change for the C7. It will now be a true rear engine car.

That's not gonna happen. Might as well get used to the new LED style lighting.

Yeah, so when you need to slow quickly, you can just open those gigantic parachutes.

Also an excellent way to add 25-30 lbs to the car. Plus, think of the money MidAmerica and Ecklers could make selling fixed headlight conversion kits.

Ya-crap-nik is simply attempting damage control; as they were blasted BIG TIME for their earlier "renderings".

The text with these pics are an effort to point out things that are simply not there.

Check out the hint of Camaro-esque taillights.
No, I see round Corvette style tail-lights.

I doubt anyone that releases drawings... but tries to pass them off as spy photos; as Yalop-a-dink did in November.

Meh, I'll get excited when GM releases official images. Unless it looks like ass, like the C6 did.

wouldn't it be funny to learn in the near future, that Look-at-me-o-nik was chasing around a C6... that's being used to test aspects of the next Camaro re-design?

Makes economic sense. Use the same platform, just different body panels, tweek the suspension, add a better interior, and change the drivetrain.
