Saw an ad for the new 2005 Vette on TV today. Looks pretty sharp (at least in the ad).

I wonder why they are showing this now though? That has got to hurt sales of existing and 2004's till this one is available.

thats why they are discounting the new Vettes $8-9K off sticker at many dealerships......also, did you notice the music in the ad.....tha same as in the old Viper commercial a few years back....same song, same version...."Magic Carpet Ride"....original by Steppenwolf.....forget who the new version is.....

Saw a picture or drawing of one in a car rag and it didn't do it justice, seeing it in the tv ad made a world of difference. I think chevy has a hot seller there!!!

The yellow SSR looked pretty coool tooo!!!

I think you made a wise decision. I hear they are still having problems with the top. Not to knock Chevy but i wonder when my dealer sometimes fills my Trailblazer with six quarts of oil (when it takes seven) how are they going to handle a SSR?

...Just saw pics of the Vette in Car and Driver.

It looks mean, purposeful, and fast, but not much like a Vette from the front. I can see why purists may be up in arms by the new model. The front looks too much like a Ferarri or something, but not a Vette...even though the fixed headlights are an improvement from an engineering standpoint, I thought once they went to hidden headlights, they should stay there. At least GM resisted that$#@! chrome bar that they have to shove on every model...

I guess the bottom line for me, is that the new Vette design won't stand out in traffic for me...certainly nothing like the Prowler does..
