Say goodbye to the "gold chain club" this car has risen the bar to a whole new level of sophistication. I am very proud of the engineers and GM for doing what no other car maker in the world can do. Provide world class performance and sophistication at an affordable level.

The inside is a dramatic improvement!

However, I am sorry to be a naysayer but the new body style leaves me completely unimpressed.

Notice they are calling it the Stingray and not the Sting Ray. The C7 will never be a Sting Ray.

Darnit, now I want one! Not a big fan of the rear, but the rest is beautiful. We'll get used to the rear, no doubt.

Will you buy a third red sled, or will the GS or ZR1 go?
