Had a doctor appointment yesterday. I parked my black Cruze between a black Carrera and an Audi (didn't notice which model). All three cars, including mine, looked "Modern Generic". But to give credit where it's due , they didn't look like Angry Birds in the rear. (or a Camaro either).
Interiors? Boring black soft touch, so soft you could feel it without touching, and crisp clean lines of boring subtle chrome edging to lend that look that most doctors and/or dentists love. Here's hoping that the C7 escapes this fate.

Thats funny because i work at Area 51 and we see spaceships all of the time, in fact i took one out for a spin two weeks ago and did a low altitude high speed run over Vegas in the middle of the afternoon just to see if we could make the 5 PM news. Our group was having dinner with our alien counterparts the other day from Saturn and one of them asked me if i knew anything about the new C7, all i could tell him was "its top secret, classified, nobody knows"
Thanks for posting. I enjoyed the laugh.

Rick Conti on his website has commented that the animation video is very close to the actual car, so I imagine he has seen it and obviously pictures are out there. He states the front end is very close and that the rear is missing a few design elements.
As for the op, The story sounds a little hard to believe. Not sure why someone would risk his job by showing a complete stranger secret pictures of the C7 right across the street from the factory where he works. Then again, stranger things have happened. Who knows

If the C7 shared design cues from the XKR and R8 it would be a grand slam. If it has a lot of Camaro in it, however, I think that's more like a bunt.

I once walked by a woman that bought a used car that once drove through bowling green at 3 in the morning by a guy that was chasing a white unicorn looking for bigfoot and she said that as the unicorn was running it almost hit a c7 on a test drive.but she cannot recall the design because she is part of the secret society of corvette design keepers.

Hi I stopped by the corvette cafe today on. On the way to London ky. Was talking to a guy that works at the corvette plant across the street. He pulled out his ipad and showed me actual photos of the test car. Very disappointed. Looks between a mix of a jaguar. Camaro and a audio a8. The video out is very close. I wouldn't give up my c6 for 2 of them. Gm really dropped the ball on this one. It's a shame to go from a beautiful car that the c6 is to that piece of crap, he says that they are having serious computer and electrical issues with it. The headlights look audi. The rear looks like a Camaro and the side looks like a jaguar. The analog gauges are now gone all led...
It's funny how with each new generation GM and Chevrolet is going to screw it up and the current generation is so great.
The C7 will blow the C6 away, count on it. Or buy a Ford.

Caught in the wild:
Now at least the title of this thread isn't a lie.
I trust you will find this as useful as the OP.

Now that's serious weight reduction.

ISIS SUCKS FAT CHOAD
The new C7 will become the C4 of Corvettes, of course the C4 guys are laughing like hell with anticipation of moving up the ladder a notch. But it all depends on if the actual C7 comes out with a Camaro rear end........what a CAT....***.....trophe!
But it'll sell, in numbers, cause most people don't have a clue and ARE NOT Corvette fans. In the sense they are only buying a "Corvette" for name only. That's the way GM wants it.
