Default So I think this is Garbage.

I was looking at some vids of the new camaro on the chevy site, and a few happened to be trailers of the new transformers movie and I saw this.....

I really couldnt find that much info on it, but a bunch of "sources" say that its a concept for a new stingray or something. Didnt get a whole lot of info on the production but one site said it was going to come out sometime before the movie or something like that. Doubt it.
But anyhow, I think this thing looks like terrible. I dont like it at all.

It has the corvette logos...so why would they say its a stingray? that car looks so futuristic. I dislike.

Maybe because it is the new version of the Corvette Stingray.
Ever seen one of these before? >

Anyways, I like the rear end of the new one (with the exception of the exhaust.) Sorta looks like a Lamborghini. I hate the front though.. Looks like someone smiling.

This is also confirming it to be a Corvette Stingray concept.
Found it on wikipedia.

"Jason Griffith voices Sideswipe[90], a silver Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Concept.[83] He is an expert fighter with his swords and tries to get in close with his opponents. According to the writers in panel at Botcon Sideswipe was originally scripted to be a Lamborghini like his Generation 1 counterpart, but Bay had his choice of cars and went with the Stingray."

I thought they ended it at the original concept like 5 months ago...to see that they're continuing along with this makes me sick.

So, how much do you think GM payed them to use their cars in the movies? I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice that all of the autobots from the first movie were gm made with the exception of Optimus Prime.

Lets see.

Ironhide is a GMC Kodiak.
Ratchet is an H2. (not sure which company makes the hummers..)
Mudflap is a Chevy Trax.
Skid is a Chevy Beat.
Sideswipe is the shitty looking corvette.
Jolt is a Chevy Volt.
Soundwave is a Chevy Silverado.

...And thats it I think.

GM makes hummer, but they just sold it to japan i believe who will then sell hummers right back to the US along with india, makes no sense on their part. yeah GM is letting go of oldsmobile, hummer, saturn and pontiac.

That car won't get made in that form. It's just a concept like every other car company does and they all look like poo. Look at the one Audi made of the movie iRobot.
