It is a bit more Armani than Brooks Brothers.

Sitting in a C7 felt a little more confined than the C6. The "cockpit" feel best describes the dash that wraps closer to the driver, where as the C6 dash is more forward. The C7 seats felt very supportive and comfortable. Just like anything, we adapt.

Well, it is a sports car. And GM IS trying to change the image of the typical Corvette buyer.
