Default C7- the discussion changes

It is Friday evening. Before Monday morning we will all have had the opportunity to see many images of the ACTUAL C7. I don't care what anyone wants to predict at this point nor do I care about whether they like or don't like what they predict it will look like. The time for that to be interesting to me has passed. Talk to you all VERY SOON about whether or not I actually like what the C7 FOR SURE looks like.

The discussion changes all right. People drop the preface "if the real car looks like that." Otherwise, mostly the same, just arseloads more of it.

We are all in a huddle awaiting your approval!


Honestly, I just don't see the discussion changing very much until people see the C7, it's options, functions, etc., and drive it themselves. Still many months away from being in showrooms.

So people will continue to speculate about every detail about the way it will look, including shape of the tail lights, even after the REAL DEAL is there for all to see? What are you talking about?

We won't be speculating as much. But there will be a lot of stuff to speculate about. What will the different colors look like on it? What about wheel/tire effectiveness? How will the track screen really work?
