Being somewhat new to the forums, I thought it would be a little entertaining to jump to the first few posts in the C7 forum and see what people were talking about back then.

Kind of funny, not much different than what is being discussed right now. It was all speculation and spy photos about the C7....now it's just the same old stuff about the ZR1 and the C8. Looking at some of the early spy shots and stuff too is entertaining....

If you're bored, entertainment is just a mouse click away :-)

I did that once. It's crazy how upset some people were about the C7 not having round taillights. It would be interesting to see how many of these people who swore off the C7 own one now

It happens every new generation. People who own the previous genration always hate the new cars. Then they end up buying one.

Check out the split window design in this article. Maybe they want to post this in the C8 as a new design

Ah, the late 2012 C7 speculation. The excitement when Jalopnik revealed the Omega C7 molds for both the front and rear facias. Do a web search to see the pics. Fun CF times before the early 2013 C7 reveal.


Edit: Remember "BlueOx" and "John T"?

I am one that still prefers the round taillights. I did purchase a 17 GS coupe but kept the 07 Z51 coupe. My wife still prefers the 07, not because of the taillights, she feels she has more leg room in the passenger seat, finds the seat more comfortable and less interior noise than the GS (most likely from the wide rear tires).

The GS is fun to drive but I also enjoy the C6 with the better looking round taillights.

Great thread, thanks for posting this, it is amusing to see what was being said about the future C7 in 2008. I wonder if they will bring back the round taillights for the C8 [LOL].
