Default If you ordered Laguna Blue

Are you thinking you need to change your color so you do not get accused of owning the suitcase edition?

Hello no........ for the following reasons;

1. I placed my order before they announced that farce.
2. I went the poser route (detect sarcasm) and got the black Z51 Wheels and exposed Carbon Fiber roof.
3. I am not swayed by what others think; It's my money, and my choices, because I have to live with them

I think the wheels should clear that up. I think it has the CF roof. It is like ALL options.

Good plan..the wheels saved your butt.

No. Like LouB57 I went with the black wheels, not those pathetic chrome "directional" wheels that go the wrong direction on the passenger side. I will also not have the "stinger" hood stripe. Besides, very few of John Q Public will even know anything about the "Suitcase Edition".

Funny you should mention that, it did cross my mind when I saw the "special edition" release.

After I saw the luggage, I'll pass on it.

My thought is these cars will be snatched up by the dealers and either stored away as "collector" cars, or put on the show room floor with a dealer mark up.

Never ceases to amaze me how people's panties get so twisted are that they get "insulted" by a car they don't want. What a laugh.

I would be lying if I said I'm not considering another color. I think this cheapens the C7 and the new blue color. Just when you thought GM was turning the page and getting away from previous mistakes, they announce the "Hawaiian Shirt Edition". They will never learn.

Come on people.... Grow a spine...

You'd actually change your color choice because of this? Truly don't get that.

You wanted the color for a reason. Sorry, but the day something like that sways my decision is the day I..................

Laguna Blue stays,as ordered. The non Grandpa Fred version

Should have made it in pink and not messed up a good color

Don't worry, you can get some accessory bags for your Vette gen too!
BTW...didn't know they offered a CR roof! Shocking!

The C7 has got good press since it was first revealed, and now this just kinda cheapens it.

If they were going to do this they should've waited another year or two.. This almost looks kind of desperate.

If you change what you want because of what other people might think, we'll, life's too short to worry about that kind of silliness. Do what you want and if other people have a problem with it they can... Is there a polite way to say "shove it"?
