Reserving judgement til real pics come out. Because as Fen mentioned... GM really sucks at renders. But I'm liking what I see so far.

3. I bet this v8 is going to be shared in the CTS V, and the Gen 6 camaro ZL1 also.

The P-W-R makes up the difference.

That car is a piece of art. Insanely beautiful.

Is this the same type of car? I got behind it this week on the way to work one morning. It turned into Rick Hendrick on Satellite Blvd in Duluth. I must say, I do like the color!

DrkPhx · 01-11-2014, 05:30 PM

Wow, that sure looks like it from the 3/4 angle.

Looks like a regular corvette with Z51 package.

Jalopnik releases info to, and for the readers. They are very clear on there stance on embargoes, and release info to the benefit of their readers, not auto manufacturers. What is wrong with that? Those embargoes were created for auto magazines, the internet has changed that. Also Jalopnik is far from "anti GM" the articles posted about the ctsv and corvette are flattering to say the least. On another note, that vette looks nasty!

Well I guess if you get access to future products for your readers in return you keep it to yourself until a certain given time I would think you would be a man of your word. I guess integrity doesn't have meaning anymore.

No that is not it. Different wheels and there is no rear vent just in front of the rear wheels. Just a Z51...still super nice though.

And yet almost every respectable online media outlet pays attention to and abides by the embargoes.

What is wrong with that? How many times has a picture of a car been leaked and knee-jerk reactions abounded because people didn't get the full details that would have accompanied a normal reveal? That doesn't benefit the readers at all.

Let's look at this the way it really is. The only reason Jalopnik and Gawker sites pull this kind of BS is so they can make money off your click. That's all. And it screws over other sites that abide by the rules. It's not to benefit the readers.

Soooooo media hype around a vehicle is a bad thing? Please explain.

I've explained more than enough in this thread, and Number 3 has stated exactly why Jalopnik's position is flawed.

Better to just let it go.
