Design grading
I'll skip performance discussion since all we can do at the moment is bench race. Can we get a simple answer with limited discussion on your TOTAL letter GRADE on overall DESIGN. Don't give different scores for different parts, just one grade for the whole car. Please don't bash, trash or praise more than a sentence or two.
So, how do you like the new design in your favorite color?
I'll start by simply giving it an A-
Quick acknowledgement for a new record! For locked threads on page 1... =(

I don't know what my favorite color is yet and I haven't seen one in person but I give the new design an A.

I'd give it an A+ but I want them to offer body colored venting/diffuser for those who want a monochromatic approach and I need to see the colors in person. I really like the interior and the seats look great.
My biggest concern is seeing out of the coupe.

A+ for me.
I must be in the .01% that loved the car from the get go.
I did criticize the interior quality but had to eat humble pie when I saw the high res of the interior.
C7 brings back my childhood memories, when I first saw the C2/C3, I was in awe. C4,C5,C6 left me indifferent, but the C7 brings back the excitement, love and passion I had once for Corvettes as a 7ys old (C2) & 8 yr old (C3).

Never recall seeing 'scoring' before that was so color sensitive - but I have to agree.
B+ in dark colors C+ in light colors
And well all know that dark colors tend to hide or mask angles and design details, and provide less contrast to non-body-color features. Interesting results . . .
