Looks like the last gen Acura Legend.....possibly an Accord. The side mirrors and style of the rear passenger window are giveaways.

No you guys are all wrong, that was a joint project between GM and Honda to develop a 4 door corvette.

Hell yeah, that is TIGHT AS HELL. I don't particularily like the look, but I would love to have that car. It's like that truck with the Lincoln Navigator front, anyone seen that? I'd love to have a truly one-of-a-kind car like that.

Is this the site you're talking about:

http://poseur.4x4.org/futuresuv.html

Future SUV

I think the joint venture between Honda and GM is called a Hondette

Comes with an LV1-Tech engine...

Joint Project between Chevy and Honda?

To create a four door corvette? Well they missed out the main point of their goal. 1) I'm sure it doesn't have a V8 under the hood. 2) It's not four doors...lol. All they did was make the Corvette uglier and slower. Good Job I guess....lol

Actually the car WOULD look alright if the wheel wells weren't out soo far. The tires look tiny inside of that huge cliff of a fender, I hate cars like that...it's like the body rests on top of the real car that's still under it.

All he needs is some custom HRE wheels to make that wide body look decent.

LOL you think those guys bought a Corvette and made it like that? I'd be willing to bet a large sum of money that they bought an accord and put the Corvette back on it... not vice versa!

You didn't specifically say that but you did say: All they did was make the Corvette uglier and slower. Good Job I guess....lol


Which implies to me that they took a Corvette and made it uglier and slower. Otherwise you would have said all they did was make the Honda (faster?) and uglier...

Otherwise you would have said all they did was make the Honda (faster?) and uglier... as it IS still a Honda, with a partial Corvette conversion...anyway this is all academic and pointless, but I just thought I'd point that out

i was dwelling upong this, and how do we know it doesnt actually have a vette motor? i mean if the guy had enough $ to do a conversion like this, maybe he threw the motor in along with it...maybe he made a honda faster and uglier or just made a vette uglier...
