The C7 is a ...! (Spoof, meant for humor)
There has obviously been a lot of talk about what the C7 is or is not. Is it a Corvette? Is it a Camaro? Is it a Viper? Is it a Nissan 370Z? Is it a Hyundai Genesis Coupe? Is it a Ferrari F12? Is it a Ferrari 599 GTO?
All of these are a resounding "NO!" ... the new C7 is none of the above. If some take a moment, breath naturally ("Out wit ze bad air, in wit ze good!"), and try not to have a wedgie so bad that their throat tickles, then it's fairly obvious what the new C7 actually is.
Y'all are looking at it all wrong, so I will help out and show where the C7 actually came from including the color choices!
First, we have the C7 in Red and Gray facing two directions followed by the infamous rear end:
Now, if you examine the architecture of the vehicle, then you can clearly see that there are two distinct sections that are designed to emit light in a forward direction. These are known as the "headlights".
The "hood" is the long stretch of metal in front of where the passengers sit and this is where the "engine" is placed. The "engine" is designed to make fire and blow things up inside of it. There also exists a mechanism with which the "hood" can be opened to access most of the mechanical parts.
To protect anyone who may be inside this rolling sheet of metal, there are sheets of glass that protect the passengers from flying debris and bird droppings, which is known as the "wind shield". On the sides of the vehicle are two doors which allow easy entry and exit to and from the vehicle.
On each corner of the vehicle are four ring shaped objects of a rubber variety called "tires", with the metallic discs in the center being called "wheels" or affectionally "rims" even though they're on the inside and not the outer edge.
In the back, there is a small place for a "license plate" to be placed. This is required as all vehicles must be identified. It also helps law enforcement officers determine who popped a wheelie on the road at two in the morning.
There is also a very special model with a roof that actually folds down and away to give the passenger an open air feeling. This top is known as a "convertible" and only special people are permitted to drive these exceptional vehicles.
As you can see, there are numerous things that tie these two vehicles together. They both have an engine, a hood, headlights, windshields, doors, wheels and tires, a place for the license plate, and a convertible option!
So, with that said, I'd like to show the vehicle that the C7 was very obviously designed from. I will show it in Red and Gray, which is obviously where the C7 designers derived their inspiration for the color choices during the reveal!
Without further ado ...
The 1908 Ford Model T!!!
As you can see, this vehicle has a hood with an engine sitting beneath it, a set of headlights, a windshield, two doors, four wheels and tires at each corner, and a convertible option! Also, while not designed as taillights originally, you can clearly see four circular outlines at the top of the Model T, which is where many of the previous generations derived their taillights!
Who here can deny that the C7 is very obviously a derivative of this wonderfully magnificent rolling piece of art?
Hurray for American Muscle!
