Hey, when Germany leads the way in design, all others fall in line.

And THAT was a copy of the BMW 507

1955 Model

Like I said, Germany sets the standard, America follows...

Hey, Vettes are nice! I like em! I like all cars for that matter! Well, maybe not Hundai or KIA's...

man.. I'm gettin old... the only cars on the page that don't look like womens cars to me are the 59 and 53 vettes. The others seem to lack any character at all. the only car that the 507 "inspired" was the triumph spitfire... another ugly car.

The only car that I ever got rid of that I really regret was my 59 vette. They had their problems but these days knowing what we do now... They are all solvable. There is a trend towards "g" machines and I have seen several early (57-62) vettes with all late model vette running gear and suspension.. The best of both worlds and at a price not far from the personality impaired, cookie cutter girly car silliness you can buy on a showroom floor.

Another luftwabble whine thread!

Yep,

Was bummed to see this version. Looks like a fat 350Z. I'd hoped Chevy would finally take the Vette into the future by going mid-engined. Compete with Porsche, Lotus and other exotics. But no, more of the same ol' stuff. Sad.
