Now, they take the design in a totally different direction, and people like yourselves are crying, "IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A CORVETTE, WHAA WHAA! IT LOOKS LIKE A *insert another front engine/rear drive coupe here*AND THAT SUCKS ZOMG THE TAIL LIGHTS AREN'T ALL THE WAY ROUND OHHH NOOOES!!"

The biggest difference between a Porsche and a Corvette is when you push up against the back of a Porsche, it doesn't cave in from all the plastic goodness.

And there's a difference between taking a vehicle in a different direction by designing a revolutionary look, and just creating a hodge podge of different designs from your competitors. Al, I'm sure even you can agree that there's quite a few styling resemblences from vehicles such as the Lotus Evora, GT-R, and even the New Viper.
