Default New C7. Base or Premium?

Personally, the new C7 isnt that bad. Overall, I think it will catch on with a lot more folks than the base C6 ever did. But what I want to know is, the C7 that pulled out on stage Sunday night with the vented hood, banging wheels, led headlights,and the "jetson type" seats, are we looking at what represents the top dog model or the standard model? By all the bells and whistles it has, its hard for me to believe that represents the base car.

Likely it's one of the higher up packages, especially with the nice leather and stitching. I bet you're looking at 10-15k over base on that one.

I wish they would make more standard. I just think every car should have the navi, heated cooled seats etc. I wonder about the different exhast notes and the 5 or 7 driving modes. I understand it costs more, but you have a better chance of finding what you want. I love the whole car except rear. Gonna take awhile to warm up to it. I dont like the spolier/fin either. Its rather bulky and just doesnt flow. The interior is sweet though.

I believe the red one was a fully loaded Z51 C7 with EVERYTHING.

The wheels on both the red and silver car are the Z51 wheels (Only the Z51 package can get the black wheels).

The non-z51 wheels look like this:

Navigation is STANDARD on all C7 Stingray trim levels, this is based on the dealer info packet that was posted yesterday.

Like others have said (and from the research I've done), it appears that the red car was the fully pimped out Z51 performance package with the highest level interior (3LT).

My guess for pricing is $55k for the BASE car (10% increase over outgoing model---completely justified IMO) and the Z51 package and moderately upgraded interior will cost an extra $10k or a total of $65k.

Actually, Navigation is listed as Available on the 1LT and 2LT levels, and Standard on the 3LT. I wish it wasn't standard for 3LT, as I have no use for it, and don't like paying for it just to get all the other goodies in the 3LT level.

From everything I've seen, you are incorrect. The dual screens are such a large part of the interior design that there is no way the the lower trim packages are doing away with them. I would assume that the large center screen will be able to do navigation no matter what.

Edit: The previous poster was correct, I missed that line on the options sheets that are shown below. I apologize for stating incorrect info...

He is correct, take a look at the options sheet:

Last line on the first page, Navigation is Available (A) on 1LT and 2LT, but Standard (S) on 3LT.

From what I have read the 2 screens will be standard on all C7's, you will have to pay for the nav function on the 1lt and 2lt
