Default C7 Interior

We'll need to see, feel and drive the new C7 to really judge. While the verbiage says "new and improved interior", the pix worry me. I sure hope that's not a bit of cheap plastic that I imagine smelling. I sure hope they've worked viable upgrades in there for our driving pleasure.

Looks pretty darn good to me! I love the fact that it has a functional hood vent. gonna be a pain to wax :P but I'd get over it real quick. To whomever here is going to buy one soon...keep it in the garage and nice...I'll be looking for a used model in about 5 years :P

Agreed; the C6 now looks old like a C4...

If your calling it a Stingray what is the throw back to 63 they could of made a split window or a sting ray looking rear .
Why not give the people what they want. like the dash and front .But when you first look at it it should pop or blow you away . its a little fat
over thr rear wheel .time will tell

2 seat styles: GT seats (normal in brown) and a race type seat (on in red). GT seats standard...racer seats more $$ (Corvette tax continues)- probably come with the Z51 option...but Z51 I expect to cost a whole lot more then the old version at $1595.

I'm glad I bought a 2008 C6 November 2012. It's going to take awhile for the C7 rear to grow on me. I really need to see it in person before passing any more judgement.
Long live Corvette!!

All you guys that say you think the new design will grow on you...I hope you didn't say that about your wife/gf/significant other. Good looks should not have to grow on you, they should knock you over. For me, this new design is the automotive equivalent of a moped girl.

With all the negative comments, i hope there are far less c7 owners in the coming years. I don't feel as cool as i used to with so many c6's on the road.

All this crap about round tail lights, the C4 had square, the C5 had Oval, and round didn't come back until the C6.
It still looks like a Corvette,
And to the Dude with the help me get one on his signature, forget it, nobody is ever going to donate a dime to you to get one, you've had it up 2 months and not raised a penny

interior design looks cheap for the base car, color on the seats, and a splash on the on the door, the red interior must be a 4lt trim, seats look cool though, the upgraded sports, that isdash and controls are ok though

Exactly right, the car looks overly busy with all the black plastic. The hood is overdone,that plastic louver thing on the hood has to go.

The rear end is hideous, Frankenstien! Like 5 different people designed different parts of it. Maybe if the lower half were body color it would be better? I don't mind the squarish tail lights but what's with the black plastic around them?

The body color stripe on the edge of the roof panel looks odd to me. Should be same as the roof color.

Overall I like the lines of the car but the hood and read end are ruining it for me.

Oh and I really like the interior, looks like a big step up there.

Default How "hot" is the quality control?

How "hot" is the quality control, it looks "hot" on paper BUT how good is the quality control, eg. HB, clutch packs, batteries, computers, squeaks (haha), etc?
