and by the way they have had navigation since 2005. You would think the guy that designed the thing would know facts.

Look's fantastic! Makes my 010 Z look a little outdated..

Ed the "designer" said you can get yellow interior @ 7:52

I was hoping that the video would continue, when Jay went for a spin around the block.
Would have been nice, with a camera in the C7, to get his impressions of the car while driving it.

Nope, the red C7 with black wheels, is still an incredibly ugly combination.

That's probably why Jay didn't seem to be thrilled, when Ed was showing him the C7.

He really comes off like this doesn't he? Is this the guy supposedly "responsible" for the C7?? Seems more like someone quickly filled in on bits and pieces at the last minute, and he gets them all mixed up.

R&L's C6

When you watch Tadge you can tell he knows every square inch of the Corvette, Ed, not so much..

Right, Jay was thinking that the dash trim matches the body color, so if you get a yellow car, you get yellow trim.

That would actually be a cool option.

At 1:27 look at how cloudy the paint is around the Stingray emblem, looks terrible! Also what's up with the Nascar type spoiler, way too tall IMO! This is the most upclose video I've seen and I like it even less now! Sorry don't get all upset but I still don't get the excitement over the car! I loved when he was talking weight, isn't the car no lighter than it was? And I know Jay is not a small guy but he's not huge either and he looked crammed in the drivers seat!

Maybe Ed has too many confusing facts in his head about other GM Cars, or he let slip what's to come in future C7 changes for upgrade models or after the 2014 model year!

Thanks for posting! The best video I've seen on the C7. One of the first in depth looks at the interior and instrument cluster. The more I see the C7 the more I like it.

I disagree.....

Jay said the C7 was "revolutionary", ...."...a really exciting car." and... "beautiful".......and thats without even getting to really drive it.

He also said it looks like a 200K or 300K car.

Pretty good review in my book from the car guy

hey32g

Nice to have a real car guy like Leno talk about it.

That car just melts me. My gosh!

As my 12 year old said to his twin brother when we watched the unveiling online, "dang, you can have Lamborghini, that's awesome!!!"

A. Leno clearly wanted to have it on his show.
B. Leno clearly likes the Corvette brand and owns a number of them.
C. Leno clearly really liked the 2014 Stingray specifically enough to gush about it.
D. Leno clearly stated he wanted to drive it.
E. Ed is the head of Design, not the C7 Head of Marketing or the C7 Chief Engineer. I can forgive him for having some lapses of knowledge, especially since a lot of what will be final as far as models/options may still be in flux. We don't even know when this video was shot...

You can add that Leno's mechanical interests go WAY beyond Corvettes and cars, in general. He is a true gearhead and his collection includes a vast number of motorcycles, antique vehicles and even old steam and electric engines. He has poured literally millions upon millions into his garage and the ongoing costs must be enormous.

riverway

Agreed!!! This is a great car and is going to kick the very expensive competition off the continent..

Just viewing C-7 by these pics it looks like RED is the color clearly for this Corvette generation.

Good video

I'm pretty sure it was shot when the car was in AZ for B-J. Leno said they were in Scottsdale.


Okay, so I love the way the brake lights light up. I guess the centers are for turn signals and reverse lights, both of which I approve of. I never liked having brake lights, tail lights, and turn signals in one.

Did anyone else notice that the hatch is even shaped like a Stingray when open?

rcallen484

Clearly true so EVERYONE'S time was really short. And you are correct, those tail lights really are fine works of art.
