I believe in the Beer Fairy

To me it looks allot like a C5 vert from the front. I think this one needs to be hardtop only, well targa.

I have a feeling that is a photoshop of the coupe.

I have a C6 vert and I am really liking this coupe...but the pics just above look a lot like the trunk lid of my C6 vert, other than the funky risers behind the head rests.

It might have one, have to wait and see specs, as many of the MB, BMW and even Mini Coopers have a hidden bar that is dispatched if car rolls, you just cannot see it. Lets give GM a chance and wait and see if they did something about that issue too.

Those funky risers could contain a hidden roller loop bar for protection dispatch when car is overturning, lets wait and see you might changer your mind.

But, the "trouble" with Verts is that they look great top down, not so great with the top up. The C7 Vert will rival the looks of the GS Vert.

BLUE OX,

Take a very close look at the head risers on the trunk, the black section looks or appears it might be separate piece, could this be an actual housing for the mini loop protection bars, LOOK VERY CLOSE....

I think you're onto something, because I think the rear of the C7 with the "base" spoiler, as shown in the Vert pics, looks more like a C5 than the reveal car.

I stained the tail light vents and black spoiler red...and the diffuser!

I'm not good at that kind of coloration...go to some of the other guys who have colored them. They are way more talented at it than I am.
