These marketing videos are getting a lot of attentions. A guy at the Gym who was ready to buy the new F-type Jag, is now waiting for C7.
These videos will reach far more people than the spy photos or various renderings.

Is it just me or does that pic looks like it could be a render?

Is that a rear spoiler?

I am getting really tired of this too. I wish GM would be a little more creative in finishing off the rear of the Corvette. The whole rear bumper "cap" needs to be re-thought.

well, it doesn't look like the fender vent in this pic...


...and it does look like the hood vents in this shot though they are black in the video pic.

Don't say that too loudly, you will bring out all the wackos who think we haven't seen anything but a lot of smoke and mirrors

That is an odd photo. It almost likes like the rear panel of a convertible or something.

As I have confessed, I was one of those who thought that until the Omega Tool video confirmed some things...

I think I see this the same as you but it appears to open in the opposite direction as with the C6. Why, hardtop vert? Dream on me!

Other things I think I see are: :46 round polished exhaust tips, :46-rear view mirror, :43 front hood with solid (not LCD dots) headlight lighting only on the outside edge, and strangest of all, :42 front grill (xxxxx) or edgewise the cove. Both appear to show with a mirror view to confuse us.

I want to congrat you all, you have puled out some excellent shots.

GM loves this as it just gives them more press.

I can say they are spending some serious $$$ on the launch...

The pre reveal the NCM is putting on sold out in less than a half an
hour... with a bunch on the waiting list...TOOOO bad it gets Sooo
COLD at Cobo...

It should be quite a time.

I get paid $200 a shot everytime I start a C7 thread and $20 everytime I do a post that gets a response. I make another $5 whenever I put photos/renderings of the C7 from Jalopnik or Omega and another $5 if someone uses my handle in the title to their thread!

My kids' college educations are now in the bank!!

Wasn't from the two videos, but more from other people excitement.

There's no glass going to the rear like you would see in a coupe. What does that mean? Who knows. But it's different.

The thing that always stood out to me from the camo pics was the rear end. Now I know you can't tell anything of the tail light area, but the rest of it looks the same as in the renderings.

That's one thing that can't be argued, as much as some want to.
