It's amazing how much better the C7 looks, without the tacked on Stingray badges, marring the beauty of the front fenders.

PLEASE CHEVY GET RID OF THOSE STINGRAY BADGES!!!

Those are reflectors. I think there is a federal mandate :ack: for those on new cars. They've been on there since about 2008. Not all cars have them though. Maybe only the ones that have a recent redesign? Some are way down by the bottom of the rear valence or bumper. They look stupid.

NOTHING ROCKS LIKE A BLACK ON BLACK C7 :rock:

Some owners may decide to paint that lower valence in the body color.

However, the factory will probably stick with black. A black valence:

- encourages the eye to focus on the arched tail-light assemblies as well as on the downward thrust of the fender sides

- denies the license plate any visual real estate on the body of the car; the body remains "clean" and the license plate is suspended separately from the car body

Some examples in this photo

I Like both of them, Does anyone know the starting price?

They ALL look awesome... Especially the Black & Yellow, Black n Yellow

......was the boat powered by MerCruiser or Yamaha?:toetap:

Someone ask Tadge if they would consider selling these mules for a way discounted price

Yep, you are correct. l found out this morning it's not there. Pisses me off too. Now I've lost all my enthusiasm to put up with DC traffic and go to the show. I guess Washington DC area is not important enough. I'll go out and give my GS and CE a little love instead.

:rolleyes: Right back at ya buddy...played out, is played out. Maybe its new in Kansas? :yawn:

I think all the vents should be body color.

Why, are you that inept that you can't take them off yourself just like the chicklets? Some people like them.

I've read $55K

It seems most people don't. Which is why they should come in the glovebox with optional no-charge dealer install.

Really? I never saw a lot of posts by members who could not take off the chicklets. Personally, if you can't take off a simple double sided taped emblem, maybe one had better drive a Yugo. :lol:

So far this is the best looking C7 I have seen. Don't know if they are calling it Cyber Gray but it sure does look sharp with that darker tan (Saddle?) interior.

Really? It's easy to pop a zit too, but far better not to have one in the first place. :D

^^^ I don't care who you are, that's tasteless right there. :ack: :toetap:

I bet you hated Animal House and Blazing Saddles, too. :willy:

I'm thinking the very point of the mashed potato scene in Animal house WAS that it was tasteless. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son :rock: :rock: :rock:

:lurk:

:iagree:

yes, Im starting to lean that way also. they both look good.

the badges look great.

speaking of that saddle tan interior. When they show the cyber grey, you see two different shots of the interior. One shot shows the tan with the entire dash also being in tan, so that only the centre console is black. The other picture shows the tan interior with the front of the dash all in black and only the seats are tan. Which interior do you guys think looks better?

:willy::crazy2: Oh Noooooooooo ! I can just imagine how messed up that would be. :rofl:

How's that messed up? Choice is good.

If the majority actually like 'em, the dealers will let BG know soon enough.

reminds me of toyota celica from the front and a camaro from the rear.

:iagree:

GM should not be pig-headed and start listening to their prospective customers. If people would prefer to have the lower portion of the rear painted body color then they should at least offer it as an option. I generally like the C7 but the attitude that I perceive when listening to GM people discuss the car is that of arrogance. It as if they assume they know what's good for the customer. If 70% of customers would prefer to have the lower portion of the rear painted body color then they should offer it.

You should have a coloring book that you fill in the colors where you want and that becomes part of the order sheet. Just like with every other car you can buy.... wait... :crazy: :crazy2: :crazy:

:rofl:

How about a big coloring style book with the outline of the car, and little stickers for the options you want. Then you just put the little sticker of what you want and give it to the salesman and hope for a gold star? :D

Heh. I can just guess how many would get put on backwards or, worse.

I agree back end looks way better one color.

Please tell me this is not a production seat. I think it looks awful!

Love the car, hate the taillights. Hope gm swaps them out either before production, or in subsequent years.

Really not digging the yellow with all the black bs going on, vents diffuser etc. It really looks like a poor man's attempt at making a Ferrari out of a c6 using scraps from foreign parts bins. The only thing that looks expensive or classy on it are the headlights. Didn't get this vibe originally with the red show car, but the c7 is not growing on me. Or maybe I'm overreacting because of gm's stance on ls7 failures I've been reading about lately and them basically giving the finger to c6z owner s like myself.

Wow that yellow one looks great........colors that contrast sharply with the black components are going to look the best.....like yellow and white! I'm really starting to like the back of the car.
:thumbs::thumbs:
:rock::rock:

I agree. When I watched the unveiling and subsequent hours afterwards I was blown away and I'm not a huge fan of red vettes. Maybe it was the camera angles and such. But weeks later its still nice but not worthy of a 25k upgrade from my paid for C6 Z51 base. I was planning to upgrade this year so will likely get a GS or even a preowned Porsche 997, having always admired the 911. It does seem GM designers took to many styling pointer from other models and brands to build this car. Seeing these pics of the C7 car on the street just doesn't have that wow factor. It will be interesting to see what the aftermarket brings....new rear facia/ front facia and wheels.

sour grapes......

I think the chrome strip in the grille looks completely out of place, blacked out would be better; maybe even body colored.

Black covers that rear up nicer though.

Looks like they brought back Electron blue but no verts yet

Who was on the design team, Snoop Dog?

The blue one's for me! Just make it a Callaway.

Base 450 + 176 hp supercharged = 626. Works for me.

GM is calling it "Laguna Blue" but you are correct in that it is very close to Electron. Can't wait to see the colors side by side. Loved Electron Blue....a very magical and rich color. You are fortunate to have one.:thumbs:

Awesome Callaway! Did you pick that up from Tropical Chevy?

The blue car appears to be an automatic as well... nice pics.

:iagree: The chrome strip is completely out of place.

I'm definitely a fan of the yellow, but if that blue is anything close to Electron Blue, I think that will seal the deal for my wife to part with her EB 02 Supercharged Z06.

The yellow car must be a base car without the goofy spoiler. Also notice how plain Jane the all black interior looks. Not impressive looking at all with the door open looking in. They need to get rid of all the mascara around the tail lamps and vents it looks bad.

Looking forward to seeing one in person and test driving it. :thumbs:

Vert will be introduced in March in Europe.

:iagree: :cool: :cool: :cool: :iagree:

:woohoo:

Gorgeous car but c6 still has a nicer rear though.

The car looks incredible! Can't wait drive one :cheers:

Yellow is sick. BUT those wheels have to go!!!

Ugly!

Thanks for the pics. Just returned from Las Vegas and Arizona this morning. Anyone ever driven the road from Oatman to Kingman, AZ?
I had a new Dodge Charger rental which was ok but it would have been greater than awesome in a Corvette. What an amazing part of the country!:thumbs:
http://zuill.us/andreablog/wp-conten...Route-66-C.jpg

oh yes! This will be mine

I dis-agree. I really like the black accents on the yellow C7. that is what was missing on the C6 yellow vettes. They were DYING for black headlights. the C6R is almost perfect. Yellow with color matched headlights look a bit...plane. The black accents (headlights) and dark tint really bring out the yellow car. The C7 in yellow looks terrific!

stingray23 a/s/l any pics (nudes?)

:iagree: The Cyber Gray is my favorite, followed by black. Love that interior, too.

The color of the car makes a huge difference on the C7. For me at least, the darker the color the better I like it. (I really am trying to like this thing)

The yellow on the other hand, reminds me of something that should be on an Anime cartoon or video game. Cant get on board with it.

And, maybe this has been discussed already, what is up with that chrome strip across the front of the grill?

Ever seen the grille of a C1? Your answer lies there.

Have not seen it myself but have read many comments about the chrome strip by people that have. Seems the suround is black chrome that does not show in photographs and the combo reportedly looks tits in person.

I love the new Vette pics, thanks for sharing


I can't wait to get one in about five or ten years

This one looks great with the yellow headlights... only thing it needs are some fender badges on the gills.

May be the driver is planning on becoming a forum vendor and is field testing them ..................:rolleyes: :rofl:

At this point, I am not too fond of it. But I said the same thing about the C6 until I saw my buddy's 2005 in the flesh.

I actually don't care for the yellow, but the blue is better than I had thought...:cheers:

But the blue is accident prone it seems ......................... :willy::rofl:

Will there be a chrome wheel option? The Yellow looks amazing but the wheels look somewhat less than stellar for as rest of the car looking so hot.

Yes the options brochure has been posted here in another thread. it is also on line on GM's web site.

Chrome? What for?:D

I do like your C6 picture, but the black vents on the C7 VY keep drawing my vision. I find I can't not look at the black vents on the C7 VY, kind of like I can't not look at a big zit on someone's forehead.

Hi .................. Nice of you to visit again. :D

Im sorry, Those cars are hideous.....

:withstupid::troll

Yellow is corvettes race color for the LG corvette. When i see a yellow corvette i think of the Lemans series corvette.

Absolutely:thumbs:
