Default C7

Being a Traditionalist and a Radical I am not a fan of "Change". so I hope this "Bold" is not some hideous thing.I was very much against the popup headlights gone when the C6 Debuted.

The Studies are wrong as is Bloomberg, Because I for one Aspire to own and Drive and Race a Corvette, And if it is going to look Ferrari-esque as rumored then count me out.And No Stinking Hybrid tech or Smaller Displacement or Politically Correct items,it's a Corvette and should keep to that.

What would be an example of a politically correct item?
Just so I know...

Change eh?

When C5 came out, I was addicted. When C6 came out, I shunned it, until my C5 started falling apart (lol), and then I started paying attention to C6, and now the C6 has grown on me. But I think my time for a C6 has passed, I will just hold out for the C7, because I would look like a superhero driving the C7

Pretty badass car from what I've seen, I hope the final design is anything like the concepts online.

i dont follow.

the c7 will be more powerful, faster, handle better, be more comfortable, all while getting better gas mileage. why is that a bad thing again?

oh and @nathanh0...nothing you've seen online is what the real car will look like. GM hasn't released anything, nor has there been any sheetmetal sightings.

As handsome as the current C6 is, I believe the C7 will be absolutely stunning and much better than any of the nonsense concepts and on line photo shops. Everybody has to be patient, thank god that Lutz said they would not build it until they had the CASH at GM>

I personally really like the C7 concept in Transformers. I think the convertible they made in the most recent movie looked like ***, but the Targa concept I like.

So the C7 is to be made out of sheetmetal? Finally, some real news.

Yeah, it should be a barely noticeable change-over, like what they did going from C1 to C2.

Or the barely perceptible visual difference when they went from C2 to C3.

Good grief.

Jose,

You can wait and see which model most appears to you; the past years model C6 or the upcoming model C7 in 2013! If you like the C6; you get a big discount probably a rebate from GM and dealer discount to move them out for the C7. If you like the new C7; then you will have to pre-order it either in June/July or try to wait it out and pick one from dealership lots in September 2013.

Either way; you are in control. So you can actually buy what you model most appeals to you!

Well, that certainly clears things up.

Don't you just love all the self-appointed English profs? They have a well command of the proper use of words.

I think it's who, not whom. Subject who, object whom.

Who wields the ban hammer? He does.
The ban hammer strikes whom? It strikes him.
Whom did the hammer ban? It banned him.

Such is my recollection and interpretation of Internet resources discussing the question of who vs whom.
