Default Stingray leaves Chicago

The Chicago Auto Show ended yesterday and the Stingray was the star of the event. Here are a few pictures of the car as it leaves McCormick Center. Next destination - Los Angeles?

Thanks...a little bit of history with both Detroit and Chicago over now.

We now get the long slow slog through summer. Hopefully within a few months we will actually see some driving tests or a 'Ring run.

If that rear end does not look good.....I dont know what does....it looks super and I have seen the Cyber grey in person at the Toronto Private showing and was able to get up close and stick my head in the cockpit......I love this version......

In that pic it looks like a Ferrari that is surrounded by a group of lost tourists in their rental cars, which is pretty much most of Chevy's non truck based products.

It needs a lifestyle lift.

That big square black space on the rear end looks like the bumper fell off. It may look better body colored.

I dont see the ugly horizonal reflectors on those other new cars.

Why the Vette?

I thought someone said they were a federally mandated part???

That's nothing more than your own opinion.
Many of us like it.
The "freshening up" was updating the car to 2014 and ditching the old, boring, outdated look.

A lot of vehicles have the reflectors built into the tail lights. Not so on the C7.

Plus, I think Europe requires rear fog lights so maybe that's where they will go.
