They copied off another car, as usuall

Maybe this time they will actually copy a good interior for once...

450 hp? A little lack luster for now-a-days isn't it? The V8 Camaro has 426 hp..... Isn't this GM's flagship sports/supercar? Shouldn't the hp be starting out around 500-550 and go up from there for the Z06 and ZR1? I do like the lines of the bodywork but the interior, like most GM cars, already looks outdated. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not impressed.

I actually thought the interior wasn't bad.
I hate almost all new interiors, I like a "less is more" mentality. I don't want a compter/enterainment/ipod/every little gimiky gizmo in my face in a car. I just want to be able to drive, listen to the radio, and not sweet my ass off, and I'm happy. A navigation is cool too, but I have a phone for that, or a Garmin



It is a copy cat car though

The front looks good. Headlights are Viperish but they were both being developed at the same time so I don't think either is copying the other

Rear and profile look fat from these pictures. I'll have to see it in person or at least pictures next to other cars

There's a rendering floating around of the C7 next to a C6, and the C7 actually looks smaller then the C6. I'll try and find it later today.

Don't like the rear. It would fit better with a group of Camaros, not Vettes.

Thanks, that looks okay then if it's accurate. I don't really mind the Camaro tail lights, can't keep the same design forever

Seeing the C7 next to a C5 makes me want a C5 Z06 again. I think the C7 is an OK design at best. The interior is better, but still doesn't do much for me. The exterior is WAY too Camaro on the butt end, to Viper on the front end.

I'm failing to see the liniage......

Sitting next to a c5 and c6 really makes the c7 rear look horrible.
Ild take the c6

The value of my C6 just went up...what were they thinking?

It is a STRANGE looking vehicle. So now the decision is a '13 Z06 or a stroker with 14lbs of boost.
