Yes your not the first to post. This manual depiction is the first real look at the front design of the C7.

Yes it was posted but it's good that this simple sketch finally shows what other renderings keep missing; the continuous "U" shaped crease just inboard of the headlamps crossing just above the grille. This character line, seen on the Cruze and various other Chevy models, looks great on the C7. This line was clearly seen in the tooling pictures from Omega yet so many C7 renderings after that kept missing it.

You nailed it. It is the match to the Omega bumper that we have seen. this is very different than the Jalopnik and C&D renderings
