Agree. Art is in the eyes of the beholder (especially the one who is paying for it)

I think that was a Japolink (spelling) guess. The white one.

Thanks for posting. Curious about that stripe and how it would look on some of the darker colors. Might be killer on Cyber.

At the Bash it was mentioned there would be full length stripes and a "stinger" stripe offered. No need to worry about an option code, these vinyl stripes aren't factory installed anyway. When they become available just order them if you want them and have them installed

I think it is great GM offers a car with no frills but allows you to check the boxes and get all the goodies if you want. Remember, not everyone can afford or want the $8005 3LZ package.

The car can be configured many different ways and thats what people deserve....a choice.
Very well put. I'll go a little further and say it's not always about affordability either. Some folks, like me, don't really care for a flashy interior. I'm a big fan of carbon fiber as a material, but not as an asthetic. Alcantara, or 'suede' is not really my thing either. Nor do I care for contrasting colored stitching. I prefer the more subtle nuances in the pics of this one. Boring for some, but for me it just looks crisp, clean and functional.

Oh no, no ,.... even more carbon flash.
It's like a nightmare.


P.S. Thanks for posting up the pics...

I saw and sat in the same car. One of the details I had never noticed before was the C7 symbols used for the black-to-glass transition. I was told it was the idea of one of the handlers from GM that was at the event, so I thanked him, I love that little touch.



I also did a video walkaround
