Love that brown leather. Did you take any shots of the interior?

I think the design will ultimately alienate many of the core buyers. As of now the first year sales of the C7 will be significantly lower than that of the first year of the C6. Doesn't matter how many people like it matters how many buy it.
I have a few fiends who are Import guys (GTR, M3, Porsche etc.) that love the new C7 - their "favorite Corvette ever". As they can afford it, I asked if they will buy one they all promptly said no. Hardly scientific data but I think many able buyers "love" the new design even though they won't buy one.
But that's great that they now won't shake their head in disgust as they pass the Chevy dealership on the way to buy a new BMW or Porsche, etc. A true moral victory for the design team.

This car could be the next Bat Mobile, which is to say it's pretty ridiculous looking.

I agree with you BMadden.... only a small number of very specific cars/color combos look good with all black wheels...

Your appraisal is spot on. The new Z06 exterior is about as busy as it could be. This is a look that may be quite functional for the crew who spends significant time in excess of 120 MPH. 20 some year olds with a Fast and Furious frame of reference will likely cotton up to this look but will have a tough time with its near 100 grand ticket price. It is going to be very interesting to see how this one goes after the gotta have it 1st year men have satisfied their needs.

Yup, GM should have a hot orange. My LP560 was Arancio Atlas; a very bold color. One of Lambo's best paint colors.

Over all I really like the look, wheels and body color. However the brown interior does not go with a gray exterior. These two colors don't go together. Black with red would be killer !!
