In reading about the review on the new Corvette (400 HP/400FTLBS torque) they made reference to:
"Fixed headlights offer the advantages of lower weight, less complexity and superior lighting performance, according to a GM statement. " Too bad they did not keep this in mind with the key.
"The C6 lacks traditional door handles. They are replaced by membrane-activated switches inside a recess behind each door. The doors unlock when a specially coded keychain is brought near the car. Once the keychain is brought inside the cockpit and the brake or clutch is depressed, the engine can be started by pressing a rocker switch on the instrument panel."
Here is a link to the rest of the article. I've grown up watching the Corvette and personally think that this body style looks good. Almost like Honda had something to do with it
