Indeed, or maybe some kind of sport exhaust option?

Default and what's wrong with Temecula?

Easy there, sir. You might get yourself in trouble with those kind of comments. You'll be black-listed from every winery and micro-brewery in that area. City Hall will post your picture on their "Temecula's Most Wanted" board...

What's your beef with Temecula? Didn't get that property in the wine country for under $1 million, so now your bitter? LOL

Are we getting close to the reveal? I recall the upsurge in ITW spottings of the C7 just before the reveal. Exciting times.

No one wants to live in the desert. It’s where people go when they can’t afford to live in Orange County.

Agree, but the 512 actual mirror is sleek and attractive. This one looks like a hippo ear.

I was born in Walnut Creek in the bay area and every time I think about relocating back I realize I'd leave a 4K sq/ft brick home on an acre with a 3 car garage and a pool for the shack in the picture.

All signs say this car should have been announced by now.

The sky may not be falling, but some of the ropes that hold if up are looking quite frayed.
Agree 100% on the delay. Everyone saying "how can there be a delay if they haven't acknowledged the car..." just look at the plant tour advertising on the NCM page. It went from an official re-opening in January '19 to "indefinite delay".

Anyone who thinks these are "new C7s"... it's just the GM "T1" spoiler which is a Z06 stage 1 with the stage 3 clear wicker. I don't see this as any evidence of a new refreshed FE car coming.

Nothing about “indefinite delay” here:


Or here:

Huh? They used to say resuming January 2019, now they say "not available" and "sometime in 2019". I.e. delayed until GM released the C8 and is ready to allow people into the plant.

EDIT - It even says "Date of reopening has not been determined".

A few around here are pretty dull and can't put 2 and 2 together.
