The only cue taken DIRECTLY from the 1st get was the angle and curvature of the rear-quarter window. Everything else was inspired by the other generations, Corvette (production and concept), and even the F-22 fighter jet.

I'll agree that many, if not most design elements were drawn from 1st gen influence. But I refuse to use the word "retro" because it's just not accurate.
