Just relying upon my fading memory from details in a conversation about the engine. Sorry all I can remember about that.

No one turned off any spigot. I just blabbed pretty much all I know.

I did see contrast stitching appears to be an option. I saw red stitching.

Have you seen anything about the hatch in an open position or rear quarter windows going up/down?

keeks2915

Sorry no.

Steve, back in the early '70's I worked one winter in Fort McMurry (sp?), Alberta in an Athabaskan Tar Sands area refinery R&D. I loved watching Senior Hockey in town where the rink building was unheated and -20 deg F. inside. Same too it seemed with the curling rinks. That was a fun time for me and the locals were great! I'm a diehard Flyers fan.

Two words for you:


Crown Royal..........

CRABBYJ

That and Canadian Mist!

OK, just some observations for all...see the deep V just above the Corvette logo at the top of the facia mold? It seems to not be present in this rendering at the bottom. It also looks like the rear facia leans into the hatch area far more than the renderings would indicate. The tail light bezels indicated by the mold also seem to be much more pointed at the center ends (pointing toward the logo) than the renderings.

I think there are a LOT of details yet to be seen in the rear facia and the number and shape of the lighting in the final vs this rendering.

BTW, it also clearly shows the spoiler shape a bit better than other renderings.

So is the interior ATS or CTS-V level quality or people gonna be paying for the name barring no major performance improvements?

Sounds like the interior is underwhelming and victim to General Motors hype...

keeks2915

That deep v is there on the real car. All rendering I have seen doesn't show the 3 d quality of the rear end.

The spoiler on back I saw was black on a red car. Not sure if they plan to go body color or all black and the twilight lenses are more squinty/ angry looking

So, confidential information easily flows to relatives of a dead GM designer. Can we say "Swiss cheese security", impropriety, and possibly insider trading violations? It almost sounds like the 19th century far west.

BlueOx

Thanks for confirming that! So there seem to be three lights in the mold, what say you?

After keeks explanation I am starting to feel like this C7 has a somewhat subtle and smaller rear fascia. The rear has been tapered in way more than the pics suggest . Because of this I would think the fenders bulge more than we previously thought.

keeks2915

IMO it is far better than c6 maybe not Cadillac.

Led ambient lighting is sweet. DIC is outstanding and Nav Bluetooth is better than ford sync.

Thinner tires are weird when I compare to my 13 427

John T

Led interior lights can be seen now on new Impala

If the thinner tires give a better feel, I am all in

If C7 is a little smaller I will be thrilled

keeks2915

Noting to do with dead relatives.... Just a coincidence.

They don't have cell phone cameras taped up and I'm sure they all have computers logged in at home and at work...

Rumors on an Internet board are not insider trading..... Now if I had stock int he company and somehow tried to profit off it......

BTW.... They could stop these leaks if they wanted....... In reality all the bickering, noise and discussions are doing exactly what they want.

Notice this level of consternation doesn't seem to happen on other vehicles to this degree???? Could be wrong....not really looking at Porsche websites...

keeks2915

Like with most car companies, there is some consistency across lines. Many of the elements in Malibu have similarities

keeks2915

Fenders don't bulge as much as you would think. Brass apparently thought c6 butt was way too big.

Trading Kim kardashian for Kate Upton. Still there just not some much there.

Badluck33

Steve, based on what you have seen, would you purchase one???

keeks2915

Never saw mold only only rear view.
Looks like BU lights are those thin vertical lights at the bottoms/side of the bumper.

keeks2915

Oh yes....... The 427 is never going anywhere but I am already working on the sales job to the wife..." It has a much smaller rear end.. Every time time I see it I am reminded of you honey."
