Really excited.
Those are 2 things I would like to see as well. If enough people ask for it I have a feeling we will see it.

Let's all hope for LMB

I waited for a 2006 and was rewarded with a 6 speed auto vs. the 2005 4 speed. Maybe I'll be rewarded with an 8 speed this time!

I'm going to get a Vert and want to do the buyers tour if still available. If I order a 2014, I will be at the factory in the winter because of the first year delay in Vert production. If I wait for a spring delivery, then I'm just a few months away for ordering a 2015 which I can take delivery of in the early fall. So, planning on waiting for an early 2015 model. SJ

You will have a 2015 early order car in Aug of 2014. Don't forget the 2015s will be on a normal build time line. 2015 cars will be rolling off the line in B/G in Late June.

I was looking at the production numbers for the last factory green Vette, which would be the Dark Bowling Green Metallic C5's from 2000-2001. Percentage of DBGM was 4-5%, which is really low.

I suppose they could carry over a C7 green for a second model year, but if they dropped it after one year I wouldn't be surprised.

Green is one of those colors that everyone wants to be offered, but when it comes time to buy, no one does.

8 speed auto and rear bumper all one color are 2 things they really should add for 2015.

I will get to enjoy it for an entire year before I could have gotten a 2015. And if things go well I may trade my 14 in for a HIPO model in 2016 anyway.

That was my plan. What is the hit we would take on a trade for a possible z06 in 2016 for our 65k loaded c7 base?

The hit will be substantial if you trade it in. This is true for all used cars. You would be better off selling it yourself.
