It is very striking (it looks much better compared to the base model than the C6), but I personally wouldn't choose a red interior with that exterior.

Hmmm, I've always loved the Convertibles - I owned a C5 & C6 convertible. But the new coupe roofline is my favorite part of the C7. The vert looks good (but needs to loose the black spoiler that looks like it came from J.C. Whitney).

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

I was hoping the C7 would have some real roll over protection but I guess not.

I also found this photo on the Maisto die-cast model website.

The air intakes on top of the rear fenders make it look like an exotic. Much more apparent than the ones on the coupe.

Looks better than Coupe. Needs more HP to be a substitute for 505HP 427 owners (and maybe some 436HP GS owners too).

From that angle, looks like it really could use C6 Z/GS wide-body flares in the rear wheel arches, which otherwise it would look boring.

Very interesting that this model appears to have the 'base' spoiler vs the other pics.

I was very disappointed yesterday. Now looking at the Vert, I'm ready to trade my 07 AW for 14 AW. That is going to be a hot car!
