Umm, no.  Looks like something Matchbox might have created.

Could have been the forerunner of the XLR. Yes, the green one DOES look like a Matchbox or Hot Wheels toy.

There was a company in the '70's that would take Cadillac and shorten the body and chassis making a two seater with stock front and rear sheet metal.

It looks like someone stuck a '68 Riveriera front on a Corvette.  I can't help thinking that Bill Mitchell would look at that and tell them to try again.

At least Cadillac made the XLR not look like a badge-engineered Vette.

See also: George Barris's "Barrister" conversion. At least he put some effort into it.

This one I like. The first one is just a mess, IMHO. I have to give credit to the efforts, however. Not every attempt at bat is a home run.

Very true, and just making a decent CGI car takes some work.
