Great pics of blue, black, and red C7's spotted together in the wild
#63
The video of them driving down the road gave me a new/negative impression of the rear. I don't like all the black in the rear at all, now. Like someone else mentioned, it looks like the red car is cut in half from the back - looks terrible. I wanted a silver C7, but will now probably go with the the Grey just to minimize the effect of the blacked-out bottom half of the rear. Pretty much any color except black and dark grey will look like weird from the rear. I also think the spoiler makes the car look too mustang/camaro/mucle car-ish. It's a combination of the spoiler on that rear that makes it look like a muscle car vs a sports car.

answers to a couple questions/observations I've seen in this thread:
1. The flags are not all silver, there is red and gold in them too (colors don't come out well in the videos). Don't forget that images of the flags are readily available:
2. GM absolutely does not sell pre-production cars. There are probably many reasons why, but one of the major ones would be liability concerns since a pre-production car will not live up to all of the expectations/requirements of a production car. The cars you see in the videos or any spy pictures are heading for the scrapper, unless they're kept for future evaluations or historical record.
This is the first time I've seen a C7 without the full width spoiler. I love the 'duck tail' look!

answers to a couple questions/observations I've seen in this thread:
2. The rear bumper is not painted carbon flash black. Or at least, not all of them. The C7 at NAIAS did have a glossy black rear bumper, but there was no glitter/flake in the paint job that I could see from a position of ~8-10' away. That being said though, the bumper did still appear to be painted or polished or something, it wasn't a flat black plastic appearance that the 5th gen Camaros have.

Not feeling it - something looks rental-car-ish with these examples -- or like a ferrari kit car? Its got to be the wheels and the two-tone rear end. My bank account is safe for the moment. - at first I liked the side rear quarter windows -- now I am thinking mustang?

Huh!!
What kind of blue in the second picture? I believe that should be Laguna Blue. As you can see it's not metalic like the first one..i'll be very disappointed if this color not available.

i think we will see some aftermarket
round tail light kits produced for those that
don't like the new look
i kinda like the new look but i still need to
see it and touch it

In Phoenix, there are 3 or so of them running around.

Those LED brake lights certainly don't look as bright as LEDs on other high end cars.
