Default Hello Mr. C7

I was introduced to the C7 today. First time up close and personal. I've not been a big fan of the photos I've seen, but, honestly, in person it is a very nice car. Still not a big fan of the rear............. but nicer in person than anything I've seen in photos.
This was a Z51, 7-speed car.

I'm not fond of the black spoiler or wheels, but the red interior with the Artic White looks good.

Isn't that a real photo of an Arctic White with black wheels and a spoiler?

Awesome!

In my opinion, the C7 looks great in Artic White. I have not seen too many pictures of the C7 in Artic White. The red interior looks great with the Artic White.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Looks like this C7 has the 1LT trim.

I think interior looks good without carbon fiber.

Is that a perspective trick, or is that driver's head really at the roof line where the targa top would attach? Man, this picture makes me worry about headroom!

Thanks for the pics of AW in real life finally.
