What do you think we'll see this time??? I must admit,this FORM of revealing the car is peeking my interest in the C7!!!

I imagine we will see a little more of some artists sculpting a draft clay model, someone hand-stitching some interior leather (as if that's how it will be done in real life ), maybe someone closing a micrometer down on a miscellaneous engine component. Everything will be up close so you don't get much in the way of perspective or overall styling.

Hmmm... Looking at the faint lettering for the subject, I'd predict we will see clips from H.R. Pufnstuff, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, and Land of the Lost. No, no, wait... That's "Krofft."

We'll see lots of dogs on display. No... That's "Cruffts."

We'll see cheese, Cool Whip, and mustard. No... That's "Kraft."

We'll see a small enclosed field or pasture near a house. No... That's "croft" (and yes, I had to look it up).

Oh hell. I guess I'll go along with the general consensus. Closeups of people crafting things. Like round holes in the rear of camo tarps.

We'll get to see more sculpting clay and caressing indistinguishable body lines, guys with safety goggles staring intently at technical-looking components, games played with the lens focus, and some tired cliche that's supposed to seem profound because it's stretched out over 30 seconds. OMG quality! They really do care! It's just like a Porsche Ferrari! Another glimpse of the interior, probably a super closeup of a weathered hand caressing seat leather, is about all you'll get.

P.S. CaryKen, bravo. Thanks for the laughs.

You just gave away the entire video.

They will also show a picture of the driver's gloves.. and another ridiculously blurry shot of the car that is so vague that I cant tell if the car or the tow truck.

They have given us a little more, every time. I don't expect this time to be any different. I expect another shot of the car, last time a distant shot across a parking lot, it will be slightly closer/clearer this time. There will be more road shots and a quick shot, though obscured, of the interior. My guess????

Exactly... I almost take it as if GM is insulting our intelligence, as if we were a bunch of kids...

I'm thinking we will see very high quality photographs of the actual vehicle taken from every conceivable angle, a comprehensive list of all vehicle specifications, all inclusive list of prices (including currently available and future options and models), several videos of the car running all out at various racing venues around the world, in depth and pointed interviews with each of the professional test drivers....... and a partridge in a pear tree!!! Happy Holidays

Uhm... They told you the exact moment they'll show you the whole thing.

Feel free not to play until then.
