Default Is this the C7?

I didn't have my glasses on when I drove by and snapped this photo today so I'm wondering if this is the new C7.

No, it's just a C5.4. Just look at the emblem.

Sorry, you're all wrong. My brother-in-law owns the printing company that prints the Corvette literature and he emailed me the artwork for the cover of the C7 brochure. He said that this one has to be changed to 2014 from 2013, but the photo of the C7 is CORRECT! So much for Jalopnik.

Fuel economy is shot to hell. And the thing really needs to be lowered; why does GM always do that?
