Default New York auto show convertible?

Since the Geneva show will be over, IMO the convertible should appear at the New York Show. Big press and big attendance. What do you think?

That's what happened in 2004 with the C6. I expect the same this time. I will be there, so let us hope. .

At least with a convertible one can get a good look at the interior. If they only have the coupe at the show, the doors might be locked so no one can sit inside of the car. Since the car is not in production, I think that will be the situation and no one will be able to sit in the car.

They've done much more stupid shyt when it comes to showing this car.

Like not showing the C7 at all during the DC Auto show. Nation's capitol. Fed gov bailed out GM. 10million+ residents. Most stable employment and housing market in the entire US. #1 & #3 nationally ranked Corvette dealers both within a 3 hour drive. Show went on for 10 days, and they couldnt find a couple of days to show the C7 here.

Good point.

I'm going to the NYC auto show regardless.. as its my first chance to see the C7 in person. Will make sure to bring a lens with super zoom capability to get a 1st hand look at that interior.

Excellent statement! The "other" dumb thing they are doing is getting the car out in the fall if it's on time, should have been May/June!

I think they will produce the car in June to match the production of the first C1's. delivery late August.

I heard that too Bill, not sure what the big deal is in that regard though! Typical bad business, wouldn't it make more sense to release before summer, especially with all the hype you'd think they want the car out where all the climates can enjoy and for it to be seen on the road more! And August is with the assumption there are no QC issues or hang ups with the release!

Crabby J great pictures. I wonder how Chevrolet picks colors for car shows..and do those colors sell better then the others. It is rare ( but beautiful) to see a silver C6 convertible

I do like the C7, but that C6 roadster still looks great.....a clean, classic, muscular design, Glad to see a new Vette but compared to everything else on the road, the C6 is still stunning.
