I hope GM finally puts a real cognac/palomino interior in the vette. Something like the new Viper and the Ferraris. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Sick and tired of black interiors. very boring.

I still lean towards black interiors, however I would like to see some color accents that match the exterior paint. Stitching is nice, however some more options would be welcome.

The carmel-colored interiors above are nice as well.

I'd love a dark blue, grey, or dark red C7 with cognac interior.

I'd like to see a nice red interior as well, as long as its of high quality leather. Not that super glossy, plastic looking "leather" they offer for the C6.

We need to know what's offered on the C7 first. I've been holding my breath for a full red interior, it's been gone for 30 years. (We haven't even had a matching red/red for 10 years)

Red interiors are popular in Europe but haven't been huge sellers here. Maybe a real nicely done red interior on the C7 would change that.

So far I have decided on a black convertible top with a black/cobalt interior. The color of the body is not decided, yet. Still waiting on seeing the real car and what paint choices that will be offered.

But it doesn't matter if they don't do red.....First thing I would do...rip interior out and color change it from black TO RED! Problem solved.

I know they didn't have the forsight at the time, however I wish GM would have offered a white exterior/red interior combo for anniversary years only (1963, 1973, 1983, 1993, 2003, and 2013). That would have been a great way to honor the first Corvette in 1953. White exteriors and red interiors could be selected in other years but only matched up together during the anniversary years. That would have really made them unique and special. I like the look!

AGREED! You wouldn't believe the guys/gals who are thrilled to see my interior and take pics. It's almost a hassel to go anywhere once I'm stopped.

I want GM to make it come back in their cars!

That would have been a heck of a great marketing angle!!!!

Imagine this...... White on Red 427 Convertible......

Not a C6 427....but the idea is awesome!!!!

I think it would have been huge in 2003 for the 50th anniversary! Instead we got a wine-color red exterior with a tanish shale interior. It was a nice car, however I think a white on red super powered vert would have been huge! Park it next to a 1953 white on red Corvette and the marketing material would have been really cool to look at.
