That is a good picture. In my opinion the C7 looks great in yellow. I think the rear end looks pretty good in that picture.

A couple of comments:
1. Those headlight washers required in the EU look pretty dopey/bad.
2. See how that tiny front plate fits right between the fangs? I wish we had that option in the US. It might convince me to attach the front plate, like I'm supposed to.

I agree on the washers. I don't know why they didn't go with pop up washers like everyone else.
Looks like an afterthought -- or being cheap.
Did they think no one would notice?

Unfortunately they are required by law in most of the European countries.2. Well, if you look at the C7 that is currently tested by
Again, those huge and fugly front license plates are legally required in countries that are part of the European Union.

2. Well, if you look at the C7 that is currently tested by Patrick Hermann, you guys are still lucky in the U.S.!

Headlight washers are a good idea. Even my 2002 Mini had pop up washers standard.
I really don't understand why Chevy couldn't have figured a better solution here. It's not like they are the only ones to face this problem.

One thing I could go for is the larger Euro side mirrors. I wonder if those could be
changed out by a US dealer?

Still, I can't recall a single instance in my life when I even remotely needed this feature.

If you are running high speed on a rainy night, the lenses will get covered in all kinds of goo and muck just like the rest of your car. The washers help to get rid it it the same as it does on your windshield.
But, that's not the real issue. Every country has their own regulations. If you want to sell there, you have to conform. But, there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. IMO, they've done it the wrong way.
