Makes me more excited to see the angles that maybe on rear end!!
If it is the rear window, it won't be that big (ugly!) square thing we have seen in some renderings

Cool thanks for posting the video.

IMO they should have released the videos in the opposite order. The 1st and 2nd videos revealed a lot more of the car so I kind of expected a bit more in the 3rd and 4th.

The 13th can't come soon enough!!!

Some people like foreplay others don't...if you don't like the videos just wait until one13 and have your way with it.... Lol

looks like the rear looking back as if you were standing by the rear wheel, you can sort of see the tapered window in the upper left, if so it is A LOT more angular than any of the renders have shown.

THIS MIGHT BE THE REAR DECK LID but with out the rear fascia on.In my opinion,this video has shown more then any prior video,but still shows more or less nothing that gives the actual look of the car away...3 DAYS!!! Oh,and if that's the actual panel gap,they have some serious work to do to fix that!!
Does the windshield look narrower than that of the c6?

In between 8 seconds and 10 seconds it shows a whole piece being lifted but I can't get it to pause there. Can anyone get a still?

It looks flatter but could be perspective. Front still looks like it raises up a lot. Good point about lowered center of gravity, though.

My GUESS is this image below is the front right fender with the double-crease and no nose yet installed.

def aluminum, there is a casting being welded to a frame extrusion in the vid.

I also still put a lot of stock in this image as very representative of what we will see at the back end.

I don't think any renderings show that crease in the rear fender area.

This must not be the factory paint job as I'm not seeing the patented orange peel in the reflection.

Well I'm now convinced we don't have a 2x2 (which is OK with me, but would have been cool). I think this video shows a lot, and we will find more as the day goes on. Thanks Chevy for keeping us all interested!
