Default C7 sighting in Orange County CA

I just came from Cars and Coffee in Irvine. This is the first sighting I have heard of in LA/Orange County. A red C7 pulled into the car show and was immediately surrounded. Like everyone else has said, it looks even better in person. While I wasn't sure if I liked the looks of the C7 any better than the C6, there is no question in my mind. The 2014 is simply awesome. Keep your eyes open folks, as the factory seems to be sending these cars everywhere.

Damn! I was gonna go too, but didn't get home till 2am....so I slept in.

How was the reaction from the crowd? C7 a hit or a miss?

It was an absolute hit. The guy was surrounded by about 100 people when he pulled in. Couldn't move to park it for a minute until the crowd backed off. This car is light years ahead of the C6--don't get me wrong the C6 is a great car and good looking. But this 2014....

That's great because I noticed that the crowd there usually ignores the Vettes (as well as most BMWs) there. Too common or boring I guess.
I think it's great that the C7 style brings excitement back to the brand.

My friend was driving the C7. He said that when he came back to the car some people had taken it upon themselves to open it up and sit in it. O_o

The car was loaned out to Car and Driver.

Has anyone heard if a C7 is going to be at the Marque Corvette day at Supercar Sunday in Woodland Hills this weekend?

No idea. Though there are several Prototypes going around So Cal. So there's a good chance...
