Thanks for posting. That blue Vette is looking hot! I have not made up my mind about the spoiler option. I like the cleaner profile of the red car without the spoiler. However, both versions look great.

Ive loved the car before, but i did not like in this video...
Looks TOO High and TOO Narrow. Not like a real sport car.
Hope, this is just an illusion and in person that looks just like it should.

In the back of my mind, I keep thinking maybe...just maybe I'll see a prototype in the wild soon. Must have been an awesome experience for them.

As I said earlier.. I think it's the too much black in the rear. The black car doesn't "look" as high as the red and blue C7's.

I think the black and grey colors are going to be the hot sellers, and this is only one of the reasons why.. it all blends.

That's an artifact of the digital video... the LED's do flicker at probably 60hz, not really noticeable with the naked eye, but it's not synched with the framerate of the camera.

I recall reading the exact same complaints about the C6. People were used to the wide butt of the C5.

I noticed that too when the black one's alarm was set. I've been wondering how they setup the turn signals, doing them amber will allow the US & Euro version to use the same light assembly.

More like test cars. I imagine they are putting them through real world environment to see what they can catch. Especially kids with camera's and Youtube accounts.

I agree, but the red one didn't have them. Hopefully, we get a choice.

I think it will look better painted same as body color. In black look like the car cut in half from a distance. Half to see in person to make a real judgment.
