QSZ is really postin' up a storm this morning!

Harbinger? Not really. I think Caddy and the Camaro and other cars have already been the harbinger (One that indicates or foreshadows what is to come; a forerunner.) of the turnaround for GM. Will the C7 continue that turnaround? Only time and the economy will tell.

I’m not trying to pot stir here as I no longer have a dog in the C7 hunt (for now).

I have a search site I check daily for conceal carry info and if I find new Corvette news I post it here for your consumption. Leads to spirited debate occasionally…

I didn't think that at all. I like seeing the different press about the C7.

I didn’t take it that way Ox but there are some delicate flowers in this section so I try to be careful.

I will continue being the messenger and am very pleased at all the highly positive stories about C7!

GM has been doing a better job with cars for the last 2-3 years.

I agree. If you want to look at a real turning point, it's the Cruze which is a huge seller.

The Vette however shows GM's lighter side. Everyone knows they will not make much money from it. But, to do it -- and do it well -- is a good sign for a once bankrupt company.

The Cruze just had a huge recall of 2011-2012 models. Multiple problems from brakes to gas tanks and a few more in between. But I do agree GM is making strides.
