My thought also.

I've got these photos blown up on my 30 inch 4K monitor. Here's what I see so far.

1. Driver centric sloped dash design
2. Heated and cooled Competition seats with front bottom indent.
3. Left and right screen toggles.
4. Stereo controls on Steering wheel.
5. Left and right paddle shifters.
6. Automatic and manual modes on a switch.
7. Covered starter button.
8. Covered cup holder cavity.
9. Center storage compartment.
10. Front end lift system.
11. New Corvette emblem matches key fob emblem angles.
12. It appears the flat screen at center stack moves up for a hideaway compartment. Up/down button below and to the right of the screen. Top silver button on row of buttons.
13. Heated steering wheel
14. All Napa Leather interior with Lear-Guilford upholstery fabric for the heated/cooled seat function.
15. No Mulan leather in sight, only higher quality Napa leather.
16. Storage cavity in each door under the sloped arm rests.

Well look at that. Let's hope there really is a press conference this weekend. Keep in mind that the 169k price tag can still probably be for the ZR1 or high end model of this. Doesn't mean there still won't be a base model like every other Vette.

The only thing I'm wondering about is that padded cover which looks like it tilts back covering the ride control ****??? Is that not odd to anyone?

Better be cup holders under that center console compartment or I'm not buying it!

This does not look like a sub-$100K car interior to me. GM has also been very aggressive on pricing lately moving up the ATPs to the highest among domestic manufacturers. Zerv02, who I believe is Corvette's designated leaker, is likely correct that this car will be priced above the ZR1, especially if it out performs on the track.

Of all the things, I hope ZERV is most correct about the Monday 14th release. I will be there and want nothing more than this to be released.

I could see that price for a fully optioned top of the line ZR1 type.

Not sure it tilts back but is similar to one in a Mercedes Benz that curves under in the back.

Does anyone else think the icon on one of the buttons ahead of the rotary **** looks like a front end lift icon? Like the front profile of the car with an upward facing arrow?
Well one of the rumors was active spoilers. So it could be.

And check out that driving position!

I’m a firm believer that this is the “GT” model. All leather, and the steering wheel is circular. The other picks are square wheels.

I know how he feels as I had some info back when the C7 was launched and was vilified by the masses. Because there is so much BS on the forum, it's understandable that people are hesitant to believe everything they see and hear.

PS - if the reveal doesn't happen as ZERV predicted, there will be a ton of "I told you so." On the other hand, if he's correct about that as well, I hope people are big enough to step forward and offer sincere apologies.
I would love to apologize to zerv02...
but i’ll be too busy crying for the rest of my life because I can’t get the next vette for 70 grand...

Shoot!!! always go to the Industry preview to beat the crowds, can't make it this year. Guess this thing might just make a showing after all!!! Interior does look more Cadillac than sports car....

Impressed with the interior but concerned about what it will cost. Time will tell. Lots of folks with egg on their face if Zerv is right. Time will tell.

There is no way the base model will be $169k. More like $70k. But the later to be released twin turbo version could very well be.
