Initial thoughts after 1st view

I had the pleasure of seeing my first C7 last night, it is on display at Bob Stall in San Diego for a few days so I am told. It is NRB/Black 3LT Z51. My immediate reaction is that it is still clearly a Vette, I had thought after seeing so many pics that I might mistake it for something a little more exotic, however, that is not a bad thing and it is a very nice looking car. A very cool evolution for the car. It is what I EXPECT from GM. I was not blown away, but very satisfied which I think for my jaded self is a good thing.

I of course was not able to drive it and that will tell the tale, they did however open it for me and let me check out the inside which like the other new GM cars is VASTLY improved. Again, kind of hard to really say anything without driving it and seeing how the whole package works, but just looking at it says an awful lot. Again, not blown away, but certainly met my expectation. I had been by the Porsche store a few days earlier and looked at a new Cayman (my 06 S is still my favorite car) and was laughing to myself at how sparce and cheesy it felt. It was every bit as nice as my Jetta TDI ; )

I am not an early adopter and will likely wait a year or so, and more interested in a Vert, but kudos to GM for getting a car out that looks and may feel like the head of the pack REGARDLESS of price.
