Default International C7

Would like to hear about other people's experiences buying/driving the C7 in countries other than the US.

Default Japan C7

This is the FIRST C7 delivered in Japan. I ordered it August 8 2013 and it was delivered Apr 5 2014. Here in Japan the car is very expensive (Z51 is well over $110,000--thats total cost with tax, everything). There were very few options available, although we could fully customize colors etc (it was basically 3LT without Nav and Z51 or not). Like everything else in Japan you pretty much have to take it or leave it. They did not offer the Chevy Nav system, but only a Panasonic add-on thats pretty good (it does work thru the infotainment screen and is controlled by the car's buttons for menu etc and is all in Japanese) but doesn't integrate with the HUD. This is my 4th Vette (C4, C5, C6 in the past) and I am thrilled to drive a C7!!!!

I've ordered one in here in Dubai. It was pretty damn expensive here too coming upto 100,000 USD and you can only order 3LT without Z51 or 3LT with Z51. No other choices. And the waiting period here is 4 months. So I'll be getting mine in August

Ya, I think we had the same, 3LT with/withoutZ51. The 3LT did not include the factory Nav which bummed me out. No matter what, it is well worth it! I really love this C7.
