2014 Corvette Stingray Breaks Cover

A worthy attempt by Chevy but this is a total miss. The new Corvette is like the ugly girl who got plastic surgery and is pretty now but still can't shake off her ugly past.
The Chevy designers (or American car designers in general) still don't understand what passion or flare is. They are dinosaurs compared to the European automakers.

There are a lot of "old schoolers" who hate all things digital, but most seem to be more concerned about reliability and maintenance than looks.

Well that's the other thing, those will be hugely expensive to replace if they go bad at the cost of the owner. But I wasn't really thinking about that as much as just the way it looks. Not a fan. I don't mind the S2000 digital clusters or other things along those lines where its only partially digital and its mainly the numbers, but this looks as if the whole gauge is digital. I think that's a little too much.

"results speak for themselves." Well that may be all good and well but If a customer is will to spend $100 000 on the ZR1 I think they deserve to have a setup that uptodate and not using a setup that is more common on trucks. and If I recall correctly the ZR1 can not keep up with it competition, R8, GT3, GTR other models. Sure the ZR1 is fast but not fast enough.

I'm not even a Corvette guy, but this C7 'Vette actually looks pretty good, even better than the effeminate F458.
And if you are knocking the 'Vette's driving abilities, then you're going to lose the argument, these cars have always been fast, especially in Z06 and ZR1 form. I prefer mid- or rear-engine layout cars, but the Chevy small blocl is a proven motor, used by many race teams and tuners for years.
I'm going to buy one, but I will look at live in Detroit this Saturday.
