C7 Corvette

7th gear is just a trick to get EPA numbers up. Pure and simple.

Lower cruise RPM doesn't always equate to better MPG.

Lower cruise RPM doesn't always equate to better MPG.

It does in a car that can pull from a dead stop in 6th gear.

Almost any car can with a light enough touch on the clutch.

Accent can take off in 2nd

My El Camino absolutely cannot take off in 6th gear.

Reserving judgement until the complete unveiling. I rather see the car a bit more controversial in appearance than GM having played it too safe. It's not everyday they redesign the Corvette and I am so damn sick of the current model. The interior needed much work and exterior simply needed a complete make over. Yes. It still needs to scream 'Vette. It will.

Hopefully the real deal interior looks better.

Jalopnik is reporting now that the car will be called Corvette Stingray. 

[280Z Turbo]

You can't call it a Stingray unless it looks like a fish.

That is a clusterfutz

That looks like a later model C4.

You El Camino has a sixth gear?

[Payman]

No... that's why it can't do it.

I'll wait for version 2, after the auto press rip this interior to shreds.

[Soup DeVille]

No... that's why it can't do it.

That would be a problem.

[Payman]

Unveil in T minus 2 hours...

[68_427]

No... that's why it can't do it.

Thought Alex had a T56 in his El Camino

[GoCougs]

That looks like a later model C4.

That's exactly what I thought.

Those side profile and front fascia pictures are awesome. Still not sure about the rear though.

[68_427]

The rear would look awesome driving in the wet and seeing spray come through all the vents.

[Payman]

Putting my thumb over the roof tells me the roadster is going to look fantastic. 

[68_427]

Hell yes it will^

[280Z Turbo]

I sure hope GM does another commercial like this:

Chevrolet corvette 1984 Commercial

[CJ]

I can just see you getting into a car with a 5-speed and yelling "NO THIS IS NOT ENOUGH GEARS", and then getting out.

[Cookie Monster]

The vents make the back look droopy. Then again I disliked the vents on the LFA and it took me a while to warm up to them so I'll probably warm up to the Corvette as well.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

50 minutes!

Interior doesn't look bad, but did they actually go with an electric parking brake?!

God damn that sucks.
