Default C7 Rear

Stopped at the dealer on Saturday as I was passing to see the C7 in person. They had a dark grey on the floor and a red on the patio. To me, the red with all the black looked too busy all over for my taste. The dark grey, however, looked fantastic.

As I was leaving my development, today, that grey C7 went past me, a neighbor in the next development owned it.

So I hustled after him and, to me, the C7 looked great. The brake lights and turn signal indicators look fantastic and the black in the rear blends into the dark color perfectly. The quad exhaust looks way large but not awful.

We both stopped at the next light and he rolled down his after I beeped my horn at him. I asked him how he liked it so far (reading this forum I was surprised it was drivable) and he said he was loving it. I gave him a thumbs up as the light changed and now he was behind me.

The view of the front was very similar to a C6 except for the "angel eyes).

I liked the looks of the back of my C5, like the looks of the back of my C6, heck, I liked the looks of the back of my C3 and C4. But I like the looks of the C7 too. While I realize its a matter of taste, if you think it looks that bad, you're nuts!

Guy, does this quote sound familiar?
