    so it's like a 2-door station wagon. I guess the clubman would be a shooting brake too?

    Corvette Shooting Brake

    Personally I like the C7. I saw an all black one sitting outside the Ritz in Palm Beach this week and at first glance I thought it was either a new Ferrari or Lamborgini. The tail lights look a lot smaller in person that what they appear in print. Wide body fender flairs and t belt line shelf make it look fast when sitting still.

    Funny how some cars look meh in pictures & wow you in person. The C7 is growing on me, love the Shooting Brake pictured above. Maybe it's the silver wheels. :wink:

    ^^^ I tried to fix the tag to be an image instead of URL but that site will not allow it nor will they allow linking direct display image.

    Ditto, learned it was a lost cause and gave up.

    Here's another pic of the Panamera instead.

    Yes, they are similar, to the extent that they're both shooting brakes...

    I don't see the resemblance. The Panamerika makes me gag, the C7 Shooting Brake does not.

    Your gag reflex may vary. :postcount

    I don't care for either one of the "shooting brake" cars. ( What ever that is supposed to mean "shooting brake, I'm thinking "running Sh*^'s). but that's just me. I do like the new corvette even though it is getting away from looking like an American car, and more italian.. What is the next Gen going to look like??

    I really like that concept, as I have never been fond of the Vette's rear deck. It has always looked a bit to red-neck to me.

    Contemporary shooting brakes have a forward angled rear end/window.

    So I wouldn't consider that to be the case with the clubman.
