that is one sick looking car, if it wasn't for the tailights. Don't get me wrong, they are quite pretty in their own ways. But in so many other ways they do remind me of the Camaro's. Now how can a flagship car that almost always defines the Chevy brand hold its own when one of its most defining feature is stolen from the parts bin of a lesser car.

'stolen'? they are the same brand after all.

i'm not a big fan of square tail lights, and i haven't looked super close, but they don't appear exactly the same as the camaro ones, and i doubt they're from the same 'parts bin'.

but regardless, the rest of the whole car is so awesome!!!!

not entirely impressed with the new models. Give me a few years and it'll grow on me. I'd still take a FD over any year vette, period.

nice video, but how did an 18 year old get that job? he seemed nervous and a little rough around the edges....

I think it's an awesome effort as well....tails aren't a big deal to me...they look fine.

So base Vette right now is $49,000.
Think $53,000 for this one? More?
Anybody dealt with a GM house
for service lately? Comments?

i read somewhere that the base model will start a 59k dollars.dealer markups will add several thousand dollars for the first year..i remember when the pt cruiser came out people were paying $5k over sticker so i bet dealers will be adding10-15k dollars over sticker on the early ones.
