Convertible C7
Is GM expected to produce convertibles in the first year of the C7? I don't remember seeing anything about that.

Look back to the C6 intro. I think the convertible was introduced later in the model year. I know they were built in 2006.

My '05 vert was built in March '05.

That's the automotive equivalent of a nine-inch skirt and six-inch heels. Might get a rise out of you but you can't take her anywhere.

Yes, but a sweet ride in both cases.

yes the c6 which was merely introduced in the late 2006 was like the very best and it was a undoubted sweet ride in both of the cases and classes.

It is interesting that none of the camo test cars are convertibles. If the convertible C7 is to be introduced in the 2014 model year, it would seem like they would be testing by now.

I'm sure they are testing, just not out in public. The spy pics we've seen recently are probably just higher altitude testing which would apply to either coupes or convertibles.
Some of the early C7 mules using C6 bodies were convertibles.

Don't forget the ZR1 side ports!! I'd love to see a functional bottom side exhaust port.

Or a retractable spoiler.
Of course it must be blue... Ox.
All kidding aside, I like that.
As a really "old fart" we used to call 'em 'futuristic' cars.
