Beautiful! Thanks for posting. Have to say I still prefer the red coupe, but they've done a great job on the convertible.

Love the car, but this lady is fake. She clearly doesn't know much/care about Corvettes. It really shows off as she's presenting.

I wish they'd limit the presenters to people who actually know the car.

Liked the music, but too much yada yada yada.

Vert looks good, and at lot more like a C6 to me than the coupe does.

She seemed well intended, but ill practiced. The C7 deserves, needs, the best possible introductions to the public

I understand your opinion but it is all about corporate politics. I think the C7 will do just fine as the intro will soon be forgotten and the looks of the Corvette will remain.

The old axiom comes to mind - you never get a second chance to make a first impression - and first impressions linger . . . . .

Oddly enough, lots of folks here have said exactly the opposite. As a '05 vert owner myself, I am really liking the coupe this time around. Haven't made any decisions yet tho.
