Seeing the C7 spy photos yesterday was thrilling for sure, we love our Corvette and wonder what great things are next.

When Jalopnik posting their renderings many had doubted they even saw the car.....

The wheels alone speak volumes to their post back in November.

BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the biggest upsets in Corvette history. This model run is going to exist for next 8 years? It is passe [ dated] now. Guess who is going to make money? SuperVettes! I'm buying their newest kit and not changing cars.

Rick, I didn't follow the Jalopnik story when it came out, but can you tell me where did Jalopnik get their idea to draw those pictures? Did they see the car or did someone gave them description or what?
How could that drawing be so close to the mule?

Thank you in advance. Saving money for this one...

We have a 100 threads about the same thing.

Do not care. Car looks lame, and guy that wrote the articles has the integrity and professionalisim of a 3 year old. Posts an incredibly out there story and about how they are going to post pictures cause they were allowed to see it, then posts an ugly picture, then says GM isssues "weak *** denial" and how everyone will see he's right, then starts off article yesterday saying "for those that doubted Jalopnik(he may have even said himself) we know it wont happen again."

You can even save the world if you want, but if your a ********, your still just a ******** that saved the world.

The spy shots are great. But, the 6 million dollar question is what has GM done to improve the interior???????? To me, that will be the biggest determination as to how successful the C7 is to the corvette community.

I agree 100%. The interior for today's expectations, have been very poor. I'm fine with the exterior design, but the interior is where I'll make up my mind. Either C7 or NSX.

Model run should last at most 5 years. It's only being used to fill in the gap between the current generation and the all new, "revolutionary" C8.

This "revolutionary" car was supposed to be the C7 but the bankruptcy pushed back it's development.

C7 = C2 as far as lifespan is concerned.

The overall shape of the spokes looks very similar to what appeared on the Stingray prototype at one time, so no big shocker (or stretch of the imagination) when I saw them!!! The only difference was that the ones on the prototype were solid spoke and not split spoke, but they had the same angle towards the center.....

I don't know where you got that info but you are exactly right according to factory insiders. The C7 will be the shortest body style run ever!

the front end is longer in the spy shots too

who cares about the interior. Its all about exterior styling and power

Well I'm praying that to be true.
But how does it make sense to build a less than awe inspiring car for such a short run?
Yeah sure it will be cheaper to develop and build, but what good does that do if they don't sell? Seems to me that if it's planned to be a short run, then why not go bold with it's looks as a way of "test marketing" something new?
Not to mention. Does what the car "looks like" really have that much impact on the cost of production?
