And if I recall correctly, you were not liking it before seeing it in person?

Pictures really don't do the c7 any justice, nor video. The car, I thought, was absolutely stunning in person and looks very exotic. I loved everything about it. While I couldn't feel the interior, it looks vastly improved. Steering wheel is also a nice size, though I think it looks big in pictures, it really isn't.

Great job by the design team. Based on the reactions of the people around it, most people seemed to love it, I heard one or two moans about the rear. Even the old fogies seemed to like it!

No, that little bass terd will go over 250 mph. I'm still not a big fan of its looks. Looks wise, for an "exotic" I like the Aventador.

Im with you there. Talk about a styling cluster F. The Aventador would be my first post lotto decision.

Not sure the Veyron cares what you think about how he looks, he is baddest car on the planet until someone dethrones him.....and that has not happened and it has been years.
