WOW, I admit I never liked the big butt, not even on my own C5,
but, When I saw the first 2014, I really do like it. My wife even likes it.

All kidding aside, I love the C7's rear end. At first it put me off but the more I saw it, the more I liked it. There were a half-dozen or so of them at last Saturday's "Cars on Fifth" and they drew a lot of lookers, myself included. Although I wouldn't want the upkeep of a black car, I think it looks best in black because all the vents look a bit garish against lighter colors.

I agree, I have said the same exact thing. I like the black coupe.
The black trim looks ok on red, but I still like all black.

I'm with Jeff. At first I was a hater. But after seeing and driving I'm a fan.

Can't wait to see the Z06 come out next January. Should be awesome. Looks amazing in the pics but I wonder how it's going to perform. If Chevy would give the Z06 a special interior and not just the same as the base C7, I might just go for one.

Default Ok

I'll try
Wearing the Depends for the cross country trip!

New GM anti-theft blankets!

Already set up for the dealership unveiling!

Dealership game of hide and seek!

Do you want cover number #1 or #2 , #3 etc.? And you have won a base model with no options!

Under Cover!

UV Protection for the sunny day trip!

What the heck, who needs political correctness- This order is destined for a group of KKK members!

If the trucker knew he was transporting Corvettes, the price would have been higher!
