I want to like it, but the body of the C6 just looks like it flows sooooo much better!

Have to admit, the C6 looks smoother and less "gimicky". The darker colors may look better on the C7. Need to see one in person.

It might, but yes, it does look dated (C6) and the C7 is NOW.
Get with the times or get run over.

Why is the roof all black and not body color on the sides like the red one on debut?

Thanks for posting the pictures and the video. The blue looks awesome. I like how the rear bumper is dark colored on the bottom. That looks really nice with the blue.

Looks like a ricer with the black *** end, and wheels. Pity, 'cause it doesn't have to look like a ricer. Just a few better decisions here and there, and viola! ... winner

Your car looks like a ricer.

I don't know...I was excited about the C7 but here it looks like a Pontiac. The C6 looks better to me. I think I'll have to wait and see it in person in a Convertible.

I'll probably keep my C6 Vert for a while.

for those that may not know, if you click on the last picture you will load the video

was kind of cool to have that C6 right behind the C7, he was trying to follow him but the C7 kept speeding up in and out of traffic, I'm sure the driver felt like a celebrity with people trying to get a good sighting

Aw $hit man......I have to agree with you. The C6 looks so clean and muscular....and then we come up on the C7 and it looks like a Trans Am with a body kit....like a goofy Hot Wheels car. Overdone.....a real mess, dammit. I want to really like this car and planned on buying one, but it looks like a bad joke to me right now. I'd better go back and look at some of the more flattering photos of it. I guess seeing it person will tell the real story.

I believe it's an option. Either black/carbon roof or body color matched.

Love the Blue and Black combo. I can't decide what color I would get because they all look good. I REALLY want to see a white C7 with black wheels in public.

When all details are released I expect:

Standard equipment will be a carbon fiber roof painted body color;

Optional will be exposed/clearcoated carbon fiber with body color side rails
-OR-
Dark tinted transparent roof which looks all black from outside.

So all the cars we've seen might be production spec.

After further review, it appears to be a blue Trans Am ws6 with a body kit. False alarm people. Also note that there is a silver Cobalt SS in the last picture. OP needs new glasses!
