Its kinda on the ugly side. The back looks like the old batmobile. It they want to do a Stingray throw back I think they could do better.

No coincidence there, GM was heavily involved in that adventure.

At first look I really dont like it. Hopefully the production model has softer lines.

I thought that it was the most outrageous vehicle that I had ever seen when I saw it live at our International Auto Show a little over year ago, but it is definately not for everyone.

Nice car with cool styling influences.

Very sharp. Porsche is not even offering a manual transmission on the next generation 911 GT3 or turbo...

Ferrari doesn't offer any manual transmissions any more.

I hope GM has the insight to at least offer a dual clutch transmission ...so I can pine for new vette for my 55th?

As an option maybe, but repairs/clutches will be very expensive. I sure hope GM doesn't eventually drop the three pedal feature, it's too much fun to shift yourself.
