Looks similar to the C6 in those pics which is a good thing. I don't know how they are going to top it though. The car just has the perfect blend of refinement and rawness, I have never been in a car that falls within it's price range that has that kind of effect.
I'm excited for the C7 though, no doubt about that. Looking good so far.

I feel that even the C5s captured much of what you're referring to but they might've leaned just a little more on the 'rawness' side of that balance for some tastes (not mine).
The C6 really hit it out of the park though, mine has been a truly stellar (and fast) machine for years now.
Hopefully the C7 maintains that mix/combo while also raising the overall bar even higher.

Not at all, some have even referred to the C4s as the last of the 'real' Corvettes though I'm not sure I'd totally agree with that part.
My first Vette was a '95 and it was lots of fun, I loved it's steering as well as the high door sills and how ya sort of fell into their tight 'cozy' interior.

From: HOU - yeah, you know the rest.
Do you normally choose cars based on their side mirrors? I don't think there is anything wrong with the current set up.
C4, the last real Corvette? I like the newer generations far better, greater performance, better handling and improved comfort.

I just don't see the C7 chassis being much different than the C6. Really no need to other than a few tweaks. Kind of like how the C6 was over the C5. Probably some carbon fiber here and there, new headlights, etc.. I think the big news is going to be the interior (see cadillac) and the powertrain.
