Bad stance and the wheel offset is totally wrong.   Lose the headlights and replace with normal looking ones, and its not a bad representation.

Stance is 100% wrong along with some key details, but I kind of like it. I feel it's designed to be a fun rendition of the actual car. Maybe any colour than that blue might work better?

Regardless, they probably would sell well to those who know no better.

It reminds me of the car representations on merry go- rounds when I was a kid at the fair!

Looks a little like the replicar Corvettes they are making on the west coast. Modern power train and I think they stretched them 6 inches wider.

First glance it reminded me of the Lincoln from the movie The Car. Almost like the same designer was involved.

I agree.  It kind of reminds me of one of those cheap battery powered toys you'd get as a kid that vaguely resembled the real thing but just never quite made it.

I suppose they couldn't make them look too exact or they'd have a lawsuit on their hands?

I see a caricature of a Corvette along the lines of the Cars movie. I suspect it is designed with the intended market in mind and how many people in China have ever actually seen a 1958 Corvette in person anyway. The hardtop version looks good.

 Yup and I thought the whole car was a cartoon from Cars. May sell like hotcakes though, looks better than some of the jellybea cars, a head turner. Maybe Id have fun driving around in a cartoon? My grandkids would like it.

It appears to be made in the style of a resto-mod. It's a pass for me at $87,000 USD. That can buy a lot of US or Canadian vintage muscle!
