Couldn't agree more...classic GM, black everything out, yet forget the most obvious. Well good news is it's a quick $15 fix with right material. Those machined rims

Nice to see the new color. Not sure it sways me from laguna or velocity for my order but, it does look nice.
Hmm... not sure if I like the wheels or not. I think better then the all black IMHO.
With my wife working for Ford and being close to Ford WHQ, I see a lot of this around town and the wheels just look too close for me:
I am not a fan of black wheels either, so I am sure that does help. Too each their own; options are good.
I wonder how well the new gray will sell compared to last years.

The SHO rim you reference has a high polish vs the new C7 rim which is more matte and not pronounced.
I think the new QCC rims add the black background and a hint of sliver in the foreground, which is a nice balance.
Can't wait to see it on my '15

Some of us like the chrome strip. It makes the grill look smaller then a giant black void between the headlight assembly's. As for the flat looking emblems, not going to purchase any time soon. The emblems look better shiny chrome, one of the first things to catch my eye when I saw my first C7.

It would just be nice to see the new orange at all! I thought by now GM would have a car out there to show people what the new color looks like. How can they expect people to start ordering this color if they aren't going to show us what it looks like??

Thanks for sharing the photos. Nice to see the new SG color.
Think I'll stick with the AW though when I order.
Not to hi-jack, but does anyone one know anything about the Clear Film Bra option offered on the 2015's?
Something worth considering?
