agreed......Cyber-Grey looks killer on new C7. That rear spolier looks very similar to the katech spolier,

Thanks for the pics. Can't wait to see it in person.

I agree. Honestly, the C7 is one of the most visually exciting vars that GM has made in decades.

I just got back from flying in to see the show. The car is really gorgeous in person. The pictures don't do it justice. I'm jazzed about it's release.


I posted a video of the presentation by the spokeswoman at:

Here are some photos:

The display was a mob scene and it was a challenge to get up the barrier so I could take some photos. It was definitely a huge hit at the show.

There is a picture of the engine and the 7 speed transmission. Enjoy.
Thanks for the pictures. I appreciate your efforts.

Hopefully one of the options offered will be a solid front hood.

It's painted glossy black. At least the way it was on the red one at Barrett-Jackson.
