I was never much of a Corvette fan anyway, but I don't especially like this. What do you think of it?

I like it - at least the idea - I'd have to see it in the flesh but even a Ferrari played with that idea: Year: 1962. Race: LeMans. Ferrari: Breadvan.

Well…it’s not exactly my cup of tea, but not bad. If a rear view was shown or if it could be seen in the flesh I could become more decisive too.

It’s very similar to the regular production Corvette – on both the hatch and regular production Corvettes the lower body panel flare behind the front wheel well is my largest design issue.

Thanks for posting this Rob. +1 will enjoy reading it. Never been a big corvette fan, but this one doesn't look bad.

Looks like the Corvette answer to the Panamera. Having owned a Vette and needing more room it looks like a great idea.

I had to reread the article, as I missed the definition of "shooting brake" the first time. That has to be the dumbest name in automotive history.

I've been operating under a different definition for a lot of years. I thought the definition had to do with the typical break line of a sedan where the roof line "breaks" and then extends down to the trunk line. I thought shooting break meant that the line simply "shot" all the way to the rear of the car instead of down to the conventional trunk line. I'm not sure where I got my defintion from. It is nothing like the definition described in that article. I found some other sources that support the definition in the article as well.
