Not sure what year this one is.... ![]() 2014 Sport line interior.... ![]() I don't expect GM to flick a switch and make interiors on par with the best of the business. What gets me is they debut the all new corvette and the buttons are oversized, weird shaped and seem to be arbitrarily placed. But what puts me over the top is the turn signal stalks on the steering column. I swear that is the SAME fricking stalk that was on my girlfriends 1984 camaro and also makes appearances in 1992 camaro, chevy blazer, GMC pick ups, etc.... I mean really, you can't redesign a better looking, feeling, functioning turn signal stalk in 30 years?!?!?

I didn't say interior dumbass. I was talking about the rear of the old corvette being able to be pushed in seeing it was flimsy plastic.

People b*tch about the too inspired Camaro tailights, so what?
Remember when the SLR McLaren appear, guess which car recieve a "redisgin" (almost looking like a Mini-Me SLR) the poor SLK. Now compare the E-Class with the C-Class that sharing some design similiarities. Stop hating and enjoy the damn car for Godsakes. |

When the A3 get spanked by the new Corvette, maybe the A3 driver can yell out the window, my car has a nicer interior.

I've gotta say.. That thing is UGLY. but thats subjective. 'I' dont like it one bit. Too contrived and showy looking. Far from classy. Its like the juiced up, gym rat who spends all his time bench pressing, is useless running or doing anything useful and wears the worlds tighest dollar store t-shirts to expose his gruntyness.
It is NOT a sports car (the americans still havent grasped that concept) it's just a muscle car. Loads of power in a flimsy chassis. Almost tractor like. Yes the LS series small blocks are great powerplants and 450hp is a solid output.. but I dont care for the sound.. the all new ford coyote motor spanks it for sound and engineering, too bad IT is saddled into that brutal truck.. called a mustang. hopefully some day the american auto manufacturers will pull their heads out of their respective asses and build proper drivers cars.. |

The new Vette looks better than the ugly F30. The F30 interior looks more plastic-ky.
I forgot it has the roundel so it must look better.

Your car has a shitty transmission made by GM, you probably dont care as long as the underpowered ,wimpy looking 328i has the BMW roundels on it.

They took too many cues from the Ferrari F12, then executed them poorly. It looks like a ninja just chopped a hole in the front fender. I will give a huge thumbs up to the interior, but I think the exterior is just terrible. I'm not an American car hater, in fact I LOVED the C6 Z06, but this just looks like they tried to combine too many foreign elements and lost touch with the Corvette lineage along the way.

It's not bad looking at all, plus it will be a beast.
