So it's settled.... since the Camaro looks like the C6 and people seem to think the C7 looks like a Camaro, the C7 looks like the C6.

I received my deposit advice email today for my paycheck. I don't want to look to see how much lower it is than the last one. Talk about negative savings.

Put round tails on it and I'd still hate that rear end. The Camaro tails aren't even the half of it.

What makes me really want to set fire to every single one I see is that f*cking rhombus in the middle of the rear, a result of the indentations the tail lights are set into. The designer that drew it, and the exec that approved it should have their penises sewn together, tip to tip, before they are pushed out the back of a CTSV busting down I75 at 100.

The rear facia is the most Pontiac-Aztek-Terrible looking bit of styling since the actual Pontiac Aztek.

Now that it's finally here, I find myself unimpressed...

Do NOT want.

And like what Audi does with headlights and grille.

If people are put off by what the taillights look like, this must be a pretty strong car otherwise. Gotta find something to gripe about.

I'm just gonna be pissed if the Lloyd's mats aren't ready at launch.

I've already started my C7 savings account

I am going to Detroit tomorrow (Thurs) to see it in person. If GM allows employee purchase pricing for the 2014 model, then it will be sooner than later.

Why I don't think they made the tail lights round on the C7.

Looks like I'll have to start playing those Corvette Museum Raffles when this thing comes out.

I think video stated that the configurable screen was "8 inch".

Has anyone linked to Jay Leno's look at the C7 ??...




Found that in this article, where they say good things about C7 ergonomics...
