    The Tesla S is a great car, stop the BS. Tech in cars is going to happen. And you need to realize its a good thing.

    The "iPad" in the Tesla doesn't allow certain fictions while moving. So no surfing the Web while driving.

        I've always liked the quad exhaust in the middle haha

        Edit: I also heavily dislike the interior.
        Agreed. A Corvette should not have square tail lights. They don't look good on the Camaro, and they don't look good on the C7 either. That said, I'm glad the rear isn't as plain as it was on the C6.

        I think the rest of the car looks good though. Not great, but good. Better than anything BMW has put out recently. No comment on the interior. There aren't any new cars with an interior that I really like.

          They definitely did improve the interior from the C6, but that steering wheel is awful...

            Okay, I gotta disagree with you there. That interior is horrible. The CF, the BRIGHT ASS RED piece going over the dash (might be better with other color options), and the wheel.... no thank you. The C6 interior ain't great, but I could live with it.

              Some of the replies in this thread are entertaining to say the least. As an all around package, this looks to be one of the better offerings in the history of the model line.

              450hp/450lb-ft, 0-60 could be sub 4 seconds, 26+mpg on the highway, and for a $50k entry price point? I've driven a C6, and this car on paper is even better... if I was in the market for a two seater GT car I'd definitely be taking a C7 for a test drive.

                If the red piece is actual leather and not plastic, then I think it is cool. Same with the CF, if it's carbon leather or whatever the hell it's called, then I would like it. On the other hand, that digital gauge cluster looks like ass imo, same with the wheel. Compared to the C6, I think the C7 interior looks much less cheap and more sporty/luxurious, which it should.

                  I prefer the interior of the C6. The C7 interior looks like a ricecar. If all the red was black, it would be nicer.

                    If you took away the steering wheel emblem and didn't tell me it was a Corvette, I would just as quick guess Pontiac Grand Prix interior

                      They make other colors. I don't really care for that interior, the steering wheel is super ugly and the passenger side vents look like an afterthought but overall it does look better than the last generation and the seats look pretty nice.

                        I don't think we are hating on features or anything, just the fact that it looks like ass. The car isn't aesthetically pleasing in the least (racecar render is better, yes). I am sure it is a blast to drive.

                        I think a majority of the people here would agree that the new Viper is awesome and it has all of those things you speak of ...

                          I don't love it but I don't hate it. I think overall it's a nice evolutionary step for the Corvette, especially considering that the C6 was a tough act to follow. I wish they went a little more for "sleek and refined" moreso than "aggressive and edgy"...things like the tail lights and the overstated vents could have been saved for a Z06 version.
