Default New C7 Spied by Automobile Magazine. Lots of pics. Seats looks good.

they try to hide it. looks like the C6. there's a pic that almost makes it look like a C6 with a wide-BOOTY.

Something tells me those are not the seats that will be in the C7. I could be wrong, but I just have this feeling.

Buzz is right. It looks like the C6 wide booty. I am sure it will be nice. I expect I will upgrade once it is out a few years.

They've been going Ape S&#t over these pics on the C7 forum all week.

Looks like a wide square booty. I'm guessing the seats will be an option. Some will want them for racing but for the majority of buyers won't want them IMO.

...well, at least the taillights are round !

hard to tell from the cloaking, but maybe it won't look bad at all?

After all the speculation we're all anxious to see the C7 revealed. Assuming those will be the C7 seats....while I'm glad to see shoulder harness functionality (which the Viper has long had) there's just something about those huge, open 'wings' that seems....I don't know....odd. Too early to say for sure but it'll be fun when its unveiled.

I wonder what those covers cost?

What's the problem with square tail lights? My C4 had squarish tail lights.

If the rest of the car is great the only one to see them is everyone else.

Those seats look really sharp & will either be standard or optional...but they're definitely production & they're being shown to us for a reason, namely to show everyone that the C7 will have excellent seats. These guys are out driving pre-production test mules to shake out/fix the bugs.

I really liked the squarish tail lights on my '93 C4.
