Did anyone else notice how similar the interior of the new C7 looks to the C4?

Does have some features that remind me of the c4.

- i was just thinking the same thing - in fact, i was just surfing pics on google images. glad to see they finally came around, and got rid of the c5/c6 tupperware interior.

Yes, It has a wrap around or cockpit look to the interior.

Yes they went back to the same type cockpit style that so many people loved about the C4. C4 owners that have moved into C5s and C6s talk about how they miss the seats and feel of the cockpit interior on their old C4. The C7 interior has finally moved into the world class car arena.

- i've always said, " a world class sports car (referring to the c5/c6) with 3rd world interior!" as far as corvette interior goes, i've always felt that 90-93 was some of the nicest. i remember one time my 2008 C6 was parked next to a 2004 jaguar xk8 - my glass top was off, and his convertible top was down - i was somewhat embarrassed!

Yep, I see the similar architecture. I like the philosophy (big reason why I like the '90-'93 interior so much), but I hate how in the new car, everything looks so "droopy". The vents taper down...even on the passengers side! Steering wheel tapers down...everything has this downward taper to it.

It looks like they designed a really handsome interior, and then overheated it and everything "sagged" a little.

cockpit feel yes, everything else, not so much.

Ya I mainly meant the heavily diver oriented cockpit feel of the interior. It looked like a refreshed, more modern and higher quality version of the C4 dash. I mean it even has a digital speedo haha

BrianCunningham

I noticed that too

one of the things I like about my C4 is that it "hugs" you

I like the late C4 cockpit interior desing!

Digital Disaster

Hopefully it differs from the C4 design in that it isn't made out of the world's crappiest plastic and suffer from endless rattles.
Sorry, but while the C4 interior doesn't look that bad, it's a nightmare of shoddy engineering -

The design of the interior was good but the execution was a mess because the cheap materials. That pretty much sums up most of what was coming out of Detroit at the time and in later years put them in the deep hole that almost put them out of business. To bad that they had to be on the brink of bankruptcy to turn out quality cars.

The C4 is better, faster, and a better car all around.

basic cockpit design..

Yikes! I hope that two-tone interior is just an option. If that's the only interior color scheme I'll be looking for something else for my next car.

The wifey prefers our 86 interior because the later C4 gives all to the driver.
Almost partitions the passenger from ALL the controls.
While the C7 does exactly that. I wonder if this will be the response for most passengers?

While I really do like the layout, I'm growing sick of the carbon fiber look. It's just too rice boy for me. I wish they would cover it up with some non reflective color. I think carbon fiber is becoming as over done as the simulated "plastic wood" got a few years back when it was stuck on everything as an "option". I know it's the latest and greatest strong, light weight high zoot yadda, yadda, yadda. I don't need to see it bare to know it's great. The only thing I like to see bare is a tit, but that's a bit of a distraction in a car too.

Just read the specs--Dual mass flywheel, 2.75" exhaust, 13" brake rotors, traction control, Sounds like our '96 LT4! Our '96 even has a spare tire and a jack!!
