Default Just saw a C7 in the wild!

My son and I just came out of Centennial Arena in Etobicoke to find a blue C7 parked in the lot! Looked really good and my son loved it. I still want to see one in a dark colour before I decide if I can get past the look of the rear end

I think the first deliveries should be happening soon. I love the looks, not concerned with the back end too much as that's what others will see. I am looking fwd to reading new owner reviews. Nice to hear that your son loved it.

The car is cool but big reason it handles so well is because of the tires. It would have been neat if it whipped an LS3 straight line but it doesnt.....stock vs stock!!

It was raining like crazy and the car was jammed into a parking space. Regular plates on the car...

I was at WN yesterday. The car was silver...very nice, except for the rear end. Also it seemed a much tighter fit inside than my C6 - especially on the passenger side. The car should sell very well.

I had gone - I spoke to the owner and he said that the first 1,000 vehicles had been produced and were shipped out the day before which means they will be arriving at dealerships shortly. They have 1 or 2 out of that first 1,000.

So any cars you have seen up till now have been "pre-production" models and he said that they will be destroyed once their use is over.

PJ did they let you try it on for size?

I'l have to take a trip this afternoon and check it out, just to see it in person for the fist time, even if it is only through the window.

Thanks for the pic, its nice to see C6 and C7 side by side (side view) comparison, appearance wise C6 looks better than C7 however C7 (kind of euro look) looks more refined and looks more expensive than C6....lol.

To each their own seems like either way you cant go wrong with this C7, last but not least i still think C5 Z06 appearance wise looks better than both C6 and C7 even though its not even close to refined word, more like a sleeeek look (C5 Z06).....white look even better...hahah.

The Audi R8 is nice.....especially if they don't self destruct and catch on fire.

Saw one of the first Audi R8s in Germany before they were introduced into the USA. It was bad-***!!! Since then, they just got faster....(and safer)

Default C6 Vs. C7

(Not that anyone cares)

It's still a "tough call".

As many of us have said, I'll have to see it in person to make up my mind. Pictures just don't "cut it", no matter how many there are now.

I very much like the quarter window , and the general design from the "side on" view. I reserve judgement on the front as well. I have to see it.

The back troubles me greatly. Let's face it; it looks ugly in pictures., or in video.

I'm looking forward to the interior... there's one thing I can decide on by photographs only!

I've been around long enough to eagerly see every new iteration since the C2/C3, so I'd like to think my opinion holds some water.

But... a guy who thinks the '58 Edsel is cool can't be trusted!
