Here are some photos:

The display was a mob scene and it was a challenge to get up the barrier so I could take some photos. It was definitely a huge hit at the show.
Thanks for recording and sharing the video. She did a great job (and is cute to boot!) Even Santa Claus makes an appearance in the video (at around 2:45).

Cyber Gray is really growing on me. Can't wait to start seeing the C7 in person.

Thanks for sharing the video. I was on the fence when I saw the red one last week but I'm blown away by the gray one.

She said rev-matching can be turned off with the manual transmission.

She said cylinder deactivation will be on the 7 speed manual transmission car, and said nothing about being able to turn it on/off.

The car is super nice in person. It looks like it should cost closer to $100k...I kid you not. I'm already trying to make a financial plan to buy one early next year. I'm excited.

My last three have been red, one Monterey & two Torch. When I saw the picture of the 2014 Torch Red I decided to either keep my 10 GS, or find a Torch Red 13 GS before it was too late. Then I ran across the picture of of the Cyber Gray with Brownstone (I presume) seats, and totaly changed my mind. Went to my dealer last Monday morning and locked in an order.

I even like the rear end and don't care 1 bit about it not having round tail lights!

Thanks for the pics. Can't wait to see it in person.
you are wrong, not lots dont like. Lots like. The thing is beautiful

Default The silver lining

I'll just think of this as the 2014 version of the Batmobile (which just sold for 4.2M). It's sure to make kids point to a vette again

I am hoping that is the kalahari interior. I usually buy a 2lt car. Someone on the forum thought the colors were mis labeled on the gm site for interior colors. I bet brownstone will be a mocha color.

Some interiors show a colored dash pad and others show basic black. I guess we have to wait or more sales brochures.

I'm willing to bet one of our creative vendors will come up with an aftermarket part. And I'm sure the factory Stingray badge can be removed as easily as the GM chiclet was.
