Well, your posted picture looks a lot like a silver C6 Corvette convertible.
No it looks much more like a 1967 Aston Martin DBS

I wonder why that is?

No that would be Ian Callum ripping himself off
He was officially part of Jaguar. And the DB7 wasn't his design. He just made the grill more Astony and removed the popup headlights from the XJ41.
He was officially part of Aston too, and according to Aston the DB7 was his design: http://www.astonmartin.com/eng/heritage/db7anddb7vantage
Right now we are debating the size of flyshit.
As for the DB7:

Keith Halfet XJ41:
DB7
This?
Ford, who owned Jaguar and Aston at the time, have something entirely different to say than what Aston currently claims. Ford says they gave the XJ41/42 design (which was penned by Helfet) to Aston, which had Callum "Astonize" it and then put it into production.
In fact, underneath all that, it's still a Jag XJS. Right down to the all-steel body, inboard rear brakes and modular rear subframe of the parent platform. Just like the original XJ41 design called for - and unlike the Virage before it or the Vanquish after it. It even uses the XJS' AJ6/16 engine, albeit destroked, with the XJR's supercharger bolted onto it and breathed on by (reportedly) Cosworth.
The DB7 remains a Jaguar design cancelled by Ford and given to Aston.
No, this. You can haz hotlink fail.
i think in 2004 or 05 (a europe one), the gumball was won by the fat oaf Kimball Schmidt.... however he only won because he nearly gunned down a load of pedestrians on the broadwalk. the guys who came second and nearly won it were two english lads driving a chipped E46 330d and they were keeping tabs on lambos and all sorts.
i wanna know what Alex Roy does for a living because im sure when he started doing these gumball things it wasnt anything special.. his M5 was second hand. but he seems to of made a living of the back of gumball celebrity. he has books, dvd's, clothing, the works and he's a bit of a love/hate character
