That would be surprising to say the least...the color has been getting really positive reviews!

A lot of the people in this section seem to have that as their color of choice, myself included.

Dude let it go. It's called progress and evolving. My guess is that most of the people that are still stuck on the taillights are still wearing their 90's jeans and styling.

Those clear tai lights on this one are killer and one of the high points of the car in my opinion. I hope we NEVER see round lights again, and I really doubt we ever will.
That new gray I predict will be one of the most popular colors on this car, and I would not believe anyone saying it is not going to happen. They don't roll out flagship cars in a color they suddenly change their mind about releasing. They know it's going to be popular. It is the number one I color for me by a long shot and would have been my choice of gray for the C6 over Cyber in a minute if I had that choice.
Just please add one addition before production. Some form of a competition gray or darker shade plated or machine faced and gray wheel along the color value of comp gray for those of us that hate chrome/ bright and black wheels.

I agree 100% with the color choice saw the gray on the you tube video with the chrome wheels and its was smoking. I know alot of guys are going with the black rims but im a chrome guy with either red or tan inside

Only TSG C7 Z I have seen had the nickel (silver) wheels. Not chrome.

Well, usually anyway...Lots of people wanted the z/28 in the satin white it was debuted in

But I agree, I don't think that color is going anywhere.

The cheap, horrible, black plastic fender extensions are not aero pieces. The rear of the fenders is widened, and it tapers to the stingray width at the front so it mates to the un-changed stingray front bumper.

If they widened the whole fender, they would need to widen the front bumper, or put some kind of extension on it; both would look better than the POS that is on there now.

Candidly, this kind of attitude is what gives this forum such a bad reputation.

It is not called progress and evolving, and to suggest that anyone that does not like the absolutely undeniable shared design language between the Camaro and the Vette's rear end and taillights is stuck in the 90 is both ridiculous and unproductive.

Almost universally people agree that the back side of the vette is it's "bad side"; and that the tail lights are the worst looking part of the car by far. It is not that they are not round, it is that they are just ugly, and, very much, Camaro-isk. It is only the most die hard fanboys and ballhuggers that will deny what the rest of the world sees as obvious facts.
