I agree, I dd mine, so I feel you. It doesnt have to be that same interior....Im SURE there are materials that are more durable, and will thus provide a longer wear life. I have a 3lz - so I have the small upgrades, however, some more exotic patterns and textures in a variety of colors in the zr1 would attract a whole new spectrum of buyers, in my opinion

 

Everyone who complains about the interior just needs a leg to lean on. Any Corvette punches WAY above the belt. I honestly don't have one complaint. Any Corvette interior is extremely rugged. My dentist has a '63 Sting Ray and has never used a dash cover. I kid you not it still looks brand new. Whether it be any car, someone always tries to find a negative.

 

Exactly. The amount of car you get for the money is incredible

 

 

 

It's the compromise you have to accept when buying a vette, that or you re-do your interior carravaggio style. Now with that out of the way, and I certainly don't want to start another debate on the corvette's interior, but GM has got to be able to put a better effort into the interior. Alcantara steering wheel, recaro seats from the CTS-V and a less cheap looking center console would go a long way in attracting new customers. It's not much to ask for either, the rest I could give two sheets about with the performance you're getting. Also, I'm curious, why do you say the ZR1's carravaggio interior would be worn out within a year? Why would it wear any faster than the standard interior? I can't imagine the materials they use being any lower quality than what GM already uses.

 

 

You don't think alcantara, white leather, and diamond stitch fabric would get ruined quickly? Corvettes aren't garage babies. I can see people have complaints but at the same time even though Chevy is vastly improving the C7's interior, they really don't need new clientele. I don't expect them to make a wild interior with exotic materials. I expect it to be better designed with a few new materials. I wouldn't be shocked if it had an Alcantara wheel and shifter. The ZL1 and CTS-V's have them so naturally GM's performance heart would have it. Corvettes will always sell because of their customers. They are an extremely loyal bunch, as with Porsche and other sports car manufacturers. They sold 7,500 Vettes in 2009. GM, since the launch of the C6, has improved every single interior. I expect a sporty interior that is well though out, extremely comfortable, and has the essence of Corvette. Also I'm expecting it to be a retro design to go with the rumored split-window.
