When first glancing at this pic. I thought.. why is there even a car in the pic. Hell we all know what a C7 looks like by now.

That thing in the black & white dress appears to be a new prototype. You should have investigated further and provided more information!

That rear end, unlike the C7, leaves nothing up for debate.

Was at the Detroit Auto Show today Thursday at noon), and yes, the torch red Corvette Z51 was still up on the wall above the word 'stingray' as the cyber grey Z51 vette spun on the turntable with a fairly good looking long legged 35 year old babe doing the commentary. Motor Trend has some nice photos, but you have to see the car in person. It took me awhile to get used to the C6 over the C5, but this car immediately became my favorite over the C6 i owned.

Well, I am a qualified buyer, as you are (because I know you from my years on Ferrari Chat, and, I live here in YYC) but I am going to pass on the C7. And it's the opinions of the people in our category, that are the only ones that should count to GM, but I really wonder if they even realise that.

People will still buy what I think are ugly cars, because there are simply enough people around, and style is always totally subjective.

Default Rush job?

IMO it seems gm was just anxious to get the c7 out there.
No convertible version definitely should have been there.

Liked the video and pics of the grey, but not the red.



I suspect there will be electronic issues with even more incorporatd now.

Should be more excitement as the vert appears and then the z06/zr1.

I really like the interior but the instrumental panel makes me wonder if it creates a cramped feeling. Going to be long time before I'll be able to sit in one to find out.

0-60 under 4 seconds on the base model....whew! Can't wait to see the numbers for the alpha dog.



Quick Reply: Just back from Detroit. Very disappointed.
