Default The Money Shot

I've seen a lot of shots of the new C7 (can't wait to see it in person). Some angles are gorgeous. Some are meh. Some I think will grow on me. Bottom line, much like the C6, the C7 has better angles and worse angles with regard to being photogenic.

But I haven't seen this shot, which I snipped from one of the videos. I think this is one of the best, if not the best angle for the new car.

What do you guys/gals think?

I cant wait to see them up close and personal at the Bash in a few more months.

Just like anything else,

Seeing in person > Video > Pictures.

So far, I've already liked how the C7 looks in video better than in pictures. So this bodes well for how I'll likely feel about it when I finally see it in person.

That is the view that someone lying down would have. It may be a flattering angle but it isn't one people will see much of in real life.

I'd like to see more pics from the driver's seat. My dad keeps asking/bringing up sitting in it might be a bit like the late C3 cars with the big curves on both fenders coming up. I can't wait to sit in one and see what I can see lol

Unless you are laying on the ground, with a 20mm wide angle, about 10 feet away, you'll never see it like that.

It's a bit too distorted for my liking. If you have to see it distorted to make it look good to you, something is wrong.

I still love this shot because it looks great and is an angle you would see it from just walking up to it. And yes, I know the wheels are Pshopped into it.

That one has definitely been my favorite shot so far.
