That fender is for the driver's rear on a convertible.

It's like showing me a kidney and trying to convince me it's the kidney of the next Heisman Trophy winner.

EDIT: Never mind. Wrong part of the car...


I'm a bit disappointed with the video. I thought there would be something good in it.

That's ok. 1/13/13 is almost here!

How does it resemble the "more aggressive render"? What "more aggressive render"?

Really too little information to go by, but that panel gap looks like crap.

I believe the top pic is the front fender. In the extreme right lower corner, I can see the outline of the wheel opening.

I believe the lower pic is showing the inside of the rocker panel with the rear wheel opening on the left.

Could they have adopted the same "Ship in the Bottle" design as the Ford GT and placed the gas tank in the center? Weight distribution and safety?

I will also bet that there will be a special commercial shown on Super Bowl. Remember

I'm sure that is far from a final gap.

I like that the body panels are molded in what looks to be dark grey or black. When you do get a small rock chip you won't have the white showing through as you now have with the C6.

The first looks like the front with no nose section yet.

The second looks like the inside of the drivers door section with the wide part being the sill at the bottom and the left showing part of the wheel well. You can see the flare out at the lower left.

I'm guessing this is the base as there is no fender vent between the door and the wheel well.

Good point, especially since what we are seeing could very well be a training session.

Also at 0:08 you can make out the quarter windows on the frame that look like they will be see through and angled inward somewhat like expected.

Sorry JohnT, but at 0:13 that looks like no 2+2 to me, at least as shown on that C7

Let's keep looking for clues. Still no open on one13thirteen.
Thanks CJ ... I have since concluded that we are going to get a slightly smaller and lighter car and that is more than good enough for me. My dealer has said no 2+2 and I believe he knows..
