Both look very nice, yet neither will be in my garage. I will admire those colors on others’ ME’s.

Love the Blue and I am a Red Man.

Here they are for those who want to see them “locally.” Wish the article had specifically credited the renderer, fvs.

I really like those. Moving the aft-most portion of the side scoop closer to the rear wheels provides a better balance.

Very nice.

Yet is so prevalent in this one:

That is an interesting perspective. It suggest a meaningful "coke bottle" shape in front of the side scoop - a narrowing of the doors inward, in order for that scoop to look flush from behind, but markedly outboard from the front.

Which leads to my personal concept of automotive design, which for lack of a better name, I call the “three view hook.”

IMO, a vehicle needs to visually hook you in when you are looking at it straight on (as it is coming straight towards you on a road), hook you in from its side, and hook you in from when you are pulling up behind it.

So far, and we have not yet seen the final product, I am looking for the ME’s front and rear hooks. I know they will be there, just do not yet know what they are, nor obviously how they would look. Clearly we know what is its side hook.

At the 2014 NCM BASH, talking with Corvettes’s # 2, Phil Minch, a 30 year GM high perf engineer who functions as Tadge’s assistant, said to me that the on the C7, the headlights were its front end “jewelry.” Will the headlights on the ME also be its jewelry (its front end hook). And what feature will pull us and others in when we pull in behind the ME?

The lack of any hook from the rear from what we have seen (and we have heard from some that the rear “needs help”), leads me to conclude that fvs’s statement that the rear is probably much more defined than we now think, literally has to be true.

We still have so much more to learn.

Thanks OnPoint. What you noted, is consistent with was c7 pimp posted about eight months ago, that the car when viewed from above, it is a massive coke bottle shape.

[OnPoint]

I believe part of the hook will be the stance. I honestly believe this car will appear in the flesh lower and wider than some people think it will. Somebody at the other place opined he thinks the ME is high and narrow. I then posted pics of the ME and the C7 ZR1 together showing the ME is no taller than ZR and appears to have similar visual width.

In the flesh, this ME is going to have a nice stance.

I've alway had & probably will always prefer blue, thanks again one more time fvs ..
P.S with my chrome wheels .. LoL

[John]

OnPoint, I again totally agree with you. I remember a comment from someone who said he had a “lowered” C6 and noted, and while he was walking up to the group of ME’s in a Colorado motel parking lot, noted that the ME’s was lower than his own lowered Corvette.

Looks awesome
