personally i wish GM would have evolved the design more, it does look too much like the c5.

I’m feeling a lot of hostility in that. I never said the NSX was gods gift to the sport car market. Nor do I believe that the NSX is a better or worse car then the Corvette. But I still think that the front looks like a 360 Mondena Ferrari, and the C5 styling is long in the tooth. But it seems like that is GM's way, considering the C5 front looks like a RX7. But by me saying I don’t like the styling has nothing to do with me knocking on its capabilities as a sports car, or even inferring that another car is better then it.

:rolleyes:

here we go again with the c5/rx7 comparisons...

corvettes have had that general styling (large front fenders, low hood, wide stance, you get the picture) way way waaay before fucking rx7s. so its a moot point. c5 didn't imitate the 3rd gen rx7.




only similarities i see between the 2 are the front fenders (like they haven't always been there on the 'vette :rolleyes: ) and the headlights. and they're only SIMILAR, they have nowhere near the same configuration though. sorry, i don't think they share too much in common at all. i know i wouldn't mistake one for the other if i saw one drive by.

Again with the hostility. But if I had 50 some grand I think I would own a M3.

i'm not saying any of the cars don't look similar, but its not MISTAKEABLY similar. and gm isn't ripping anyone's style with the 'vette... IMO it has a look of its own... its always got its classic ties but its very modern too.

and for $50 grand, i would take a vette over an M3 any fuggin day. better power, weight, handling AND styling (of course the latter being my opinion).

Im just saying they look alike to me, that doesnt mean the car isnt good or anything like that, i just think they look alike and thats it. And for 50 grand the vette is a good bargan for something from the facorty. But in terms of a daily driven car i would go for a M3.
