The swan song of the C6?

I want to see the C7 specs already.

 

I am thinking so, its interesting though that I am actually liking this interior. I hope the C7 starts off nicer on the inside, and my dream would be a dual clutch gearbox or at least an automatic with a wet clutch in the vein of the AMG Speedshift transmission.

 

That's the interior all Corvettes should have.

 

Quote of the year!

Why don't they? This would move them forward in the market. I heard a rumor that Chevy was going to address the criticisms about the interior on their models in the upcoming C7.

 

Too little too late for the C6. Seats and wheels look good. I'm ready for some C7 test mules.

 

Yes that is the rumor, about 90% of this interior sans the stitching and the suede has been available since 2008. If you have noticed a lot of the tests no longer talk about the whole interior as they once did, now its mainly about the crap seats.

Also one thing to keep in mind a base Vette is a $45k car, so of course it should not or will not have the interior of a 911 or even the GTR which start a significant amount higher. They simply can't put a 911 level or even M3 level interior in a $45k car. So that is why the upgraded leather interior is optional.

 

Wow, they really got their act together with the interior. Car looks amazing, love the wheels.

 

 

Looks good, and the interior wow

 

The benefits of a manual transmission (feeling) trump the benefits of a twin clutch system IMO. Driving a twin clutch car is like driving in a video game- if I wanted to drive a dual clutch car, I would play a video game. Plus, it takes ALL!!!! the fun out of driving, too!

 

Looks nasty

 

A manual would be optional for those that like to go slower but feel manlier about it than those going faster!

 

It is good they have an automatic option, it allows the fat, lazy and handicapped to join in on the fun. Corvette, the all inclusive sports car.

 

That things looks sinister. Makes me want to buy another car.
