Default 2015 z06

Stopped in the dealership today. There was a blue C7 Stingray sitting on the showroom floor. The salesman told me the Stingray was only going to be made for 2014-2015. He also told me that with the 2015 Z06 GM is going back to the round tail lights because of all the controversy.

He said it was so bad they changed the tail lights on the 2014 camaro and now people are complaining about that...

controversy, jeez that's so yesterday's news. I don't know just how credible that salesman is, they usually aren't the best source of inside information.

I doubt any of what the salesman said is true. Doesn't make any sense.

Sounds like an optimistic Porsche dealer. Or maybe you're just hitting the sauce early today.

It would be a bad move for GM to go back to round lights..they made them spot on IMO.

And we believe him because we all know exactly how accurate the average Chevy salesman has been about the C7 up to this point........

Thanks. It's just what he said and he said he is a corvette enthusiast.
He said he hasn't seen any pics yet. He said they are obviously tight lipped about it.

Does anyone have any pics of the 2015 Z06 then?
