Motortrend reported that this car no longer feels like that plastic body. dont know how that much is true. also the base will be having 461ish hp and sting ray will be that version i think.

what i feel is that the front looks very very much similar to the Viper and rear to the camaro. no distinction. not that i dont like it but still a 'vette' needs to stand out more.

Stingray without Zing!

C7 corvette clearly highlights the problem GM is facing since 1970s.If you see GM it doesn't look like car company but another wall street company run by folks who are hesitant to change - Why fix if ain't broken attitude..

To start with:
Design - ordinary no flair in design looks like a sports car designed by committee - just see generic rear tail lamps sharing with camaros to malibus
front end - less said the better , more viper than corvette

Interiors - looks more like a facelifted C5 interiors.

now coming to biggest weakness in this car
1. engine - an ancient pushrod design with direct injection - Why can't Gm design a high quality engine like Mercedes - it is forgetting that the same engine in albeit different state of tune can be used to prop up Cadillac as high quality luxury car maker instead it is languishing due to poor quality Chevrolet/Opel engine inspite of having excellent car like ATS

2. suspension - Ancient leaf spring suspension in rear which even a basic car like Alto doesn't use - why stick with it?

Until GM address these issues - It will still inferior to German and Italian cars no matter what GM does.

To me Corvette sting ray of 1960s was more high tech for its time than C7 corvette.

leaf springs? So what you are saying is one of the quickest track cars ever has leaf springs?
