I'll take the basic "Z51" in white with red interior, red brakes, and chrome wheels (or silver painted).

I couldn't disagree more.
I constantly get Thumbs Up, Waves, etc. when I am driving mine.

The C7 came closer to its original conceptual drawings than any production car of which I'm aware. And I've been on this planet for a while. And it's a beauty.

Yep...the C7 hate is still going strong for some, BUT....
The car has been out for FIVE years now and I STILL get compliments DAILY on mine and it's a, heaven forbid, BASE Stingray convertible.

This makes me happy... the only thing that would make me even happier is nicer wheels than what we see on the mule. Something like what's on the current GS would look way better. Otherwise, can't wait!

Totally true,
were getting the basic entry model.
Think more classic design elegance ,and not much rice.

The mules we’ve been seeing are narrow bodies.

Good lord. I don't think I want to meet your girlfriend or see your etchings. Even worse. If you hate that, you must REALLY hate the C3.
