Default Corvett?
Would you buy a $100k car from a company that can't spell the name of their own product? Zero in on the rear bumper. Is this old news?

Is it old news? No, it's not news of any kind.

My son figured this out. Blow up the pic and you'll see they left the 'E' off the end of corvette. I gave it away in the subject.

I can't see what you are referring to, but it does look like they forgot to put the hubcaps on the wheels. Oh, wait, I guess those are just black wheels.

It's no news, the E is there, you just can't resolve it because of the black on black and the low resolution of the photo.

Looked that way to me too. That's the idea. When you "black out" moldings or emblems or wheels the idea is to make them less visible.

Okay, I'll bite.
The final E is there on the rear nameplate. Just blow up the pic and follow the lighter coloured line that represents the tops of the ETT and final E.
All is good.
Case closed.
Next?

The E is not there. Look at pics of other Z06's, - they have stick on letters for CORVETTE ...and they spelled it correctly.

That it! I'm getting rid of my C7 because some random car in a dealer's lot 'may' be missing the "E" from the rear logo.


This certainly isn't "news". Maybe the letter was pulled off during PDI. Maybe the car cover caught it and it got pulled off when the cover was removed. Maybe it was never there. WHO CARES!
