Very nice. Hard to see how anyone who looks at that car in that video honestly cannot like it but, if not, so be it.

Oh they like it, but can't come to Grips with the fact they just bought a new C6 and now realize it has become yesterday's news overnight or just can't get on board with something new. The fact remains he C7 knocks the breath out of the C6 to anyone who can see IMO. Looking at the front of my Z now in the garage and it's looking really soft to me in comparison. Oh well, another year or two for the new Z to be released.

That is the most asinine statement I have ever heard. I don't happen to have a brand new C6, but don't you think that all the people that bought the 2013 model (well the vast majority) knew that it was the last year of that body style and that in just a few months the C7 would be unveiled?

Just maybe a lot of the people that bought the 2013 happen to like the style and had seen a lot of the renderings and were not overly impressed. There could be a lot of reasons why they opted for the last year of the C6 instead of waiting for the C7.

I love how all the C7 lovers like to put everyone else down for any reason they can think of, but go totally ballistic when someone should happen to mention something about the C7 that they don't like.

Let’s face it everyone has a different opinion on a lot of matters, the C7 being one of them. What would this world be like if everyone had the exact same opinion on everything? Can you imagine if ever Corvette enthusiast loved the C7 and we all rushed to the dealers to buy one?
Why can't we all hear except the fact that some think the C7 is the greatest design ever, while some need more time to see it up close and then make up their mind while yet others simply don't like it.

I agree that the constant post on I hate the tail lights is been beat to death and those need to stop, but I see nothing wrong in have a civil dialogue on the pros and cons without getting into the name calling on either side. I realize that is not going to happen as there are always the small groups that simply won't stand for it, or they just like to stir the pot.

"Yes, she will be mine." What color for the interior are you dreaming of? I too like the Cyber Grey, but the red interior is too bright for me, grey or black a bit boring, and not sure about the brownstone or that saddle (?) color with grey. (One never wears a black/grey suit with brown shoes or belt - I think that sort of holds true with cars too.) Wish they had burgundy leather. Deep blood red. It looks richer than that cherry red, though if I went with white exterior, maybe the red would do nicely.
