Car And Driver showed a few awhile back. I'll see if I can track down the issue this evening.

New Vette by Motor Trend

"This isn't a Vette, baby! Its a 360 Modena, yeah!"
Tom Peters better not screw this one, or the Vette's doom will be closer than we think, and the Earth will be ruled by the "damn dirty Stangs."

P.S. I got no beef against Mustangs. I am just making a joke of "Planet of the Apes."

I never have been a big fan of domestics, considering my dad owned an Acura dealership til a few years ago and I was raised around acuras. He is about to buy another Acura dealership soon, so I have experienced Imports all my life. I honestly think that the newest Corvette on the road rightnow looks awesome, this new concept one is uglier than crap, as is all the previous year vettes except for the Stingray. Ah well, everybody is entitled to their opinions

that front airdam/intake looks HIDEOUS.

and I think they should keep the flipup headlights (with HID of course, if that's doable). the fixed headlights look out of place like that, similar to what the 2003 NSX looks like

and NO side ribs!!

I am really not much for all these new cars coming out, Hondas new civics are ugly, the Acura RSX is ugly, I wouldn't be suprised if the NSX is ugly also.
