It really helps you visually what you are getting, specially with the suede upper wrap for $995.

Also can so zoom for a up close shot. This tool is awesome!

If only they had this 360 view for every color combination then we would be in business!

Gotta admit, your links certainly are trick!

(Might want to re-name you thread, however. "Unique camera pics of New York C7 and C7 Interior" might draw a bigger audiance.)

Thanks for posting.
You saved me 2k since I won't be getting the upper micro fiber and the CF dash.

I like the C7 but, the view out the back window sure looks limited :eek:
Maybe it's not as bad as it looks, but it's worse than I thought it would be :confused:
Thanks for posting :cheers:

No, it's really that bad. Only way they could have made it smaller was to just put a porthole back there. :lol:

:iagree:

The rear view doesn't scare me at all. When backing up I always use the camera and mirror, not look over my shoulder. For side view, I rely on my side view mirrors.

I don't understand why they don't paint the front A pillar red. Looks weird with the carbon roof.

Too much black!!!!

It wouldn't like me change the title that is seen on the main page just in the tread Maybe a mod could help?

I can't get over how much that reminds me of my '90 with red interior.

so that is the base trim right? the 2lt and 3lt trims will not be so cheap and plasticy?

That fake carbon fiber is terrible, the non-wrapped portions of the all plastic dash is terrible, the plastic fake chrome around the gauge cluster is really terrible, the plastics around the screen and the HVAC/Stereo controls look like they are borrowed from the sonic and thus is terrible...

Thought the interior was supposed to use better materials and not so much cheapo plastic?

You need to read a lot more threads on here. As has been stated many times, when it looks like carbon fiber it is. When it looks like leather its is. When it looks like chrome it is. They didn't put anything fake in the interior. The upgrades are fantastic.

Read all the others that have seen the car in person.:yesnod:

I hope you realize, pictures don't so it justice.

Good view of the carbon fiber dash piece, just saved me 1k

Whether the CF is real or fake....it looks cheap!

CF just looks cheap period. I say paint it. :thumbs:

It's the 3LT (top level) interior. I can assure you that there's nothing cheap or fake in it. This interior can compete with those found in cars costing twice as much. It's first rate.

:iagree:It really is a throw back to the C4 interior. Hopefully the electronics are better built.

That's what I just noticed. It looks like you could lose a semi in the "blind spot".

Great post. Thanks for sharing.:cheers:

You're welcome, lol.
Finding these links saved me $995 because I think I am going to skip the upper micro fiber as well but I am going to stick with the CF dash trim.

After watching every video from the NCM bash they have answered all my question.

Just need to know the finally HP and TQ not that its going to stop me from buying, lol.

:cheers:

This saved me 1k because I am going to skip the upper micro fiber but I'm keeping the CF dash.

:iagree: Thanks, I wont be getting the Micro fiber ether. Seams it will be hard to keep clean over the years. I will b getting the carbon fiber.

I agree with you and others, cant really comment until I have actually seen the interior of the car but on this pic, if this is the top level(3LT) and its costing an extra 8K more, slightly concerned particularly with the carbon fiber and for my taste there is still too much black on the dash and the sides. Perhaps I am just expecting too much?

:toetap: Hav'ent you read and heard every where about this C7; "if you see Carbon Fiber, it is real Carbon Fiber"

You mean real "cheap" Carbon Fiber!

I'm sorry, but you can't honestly say that it looks like the interior of a $100k car. Yes, it's an improvement over previous generation 'Vettes, but it still has way too much exposed plastic and cheap looking materials IMHO.

Here's a perfect example of a high quality interior you can get for $70k(which is about the same price as a fully loaded 3LT C7):

:iagree: kinda like looking through a tunnel,
Anyone with experience with B/U cameras does it angle left and right or is the camera focused straight?
or better put does it have a certain 'degree' of angle left/right?
Thanks.

Rob, don't know if C7 will work the same, but the BU camera in my wifes new Enclave shows where you're turning and dispays a dotted line curved path on the screen coinciding with how you're turning.

:iagree: Maybe. I notice it doesnt have the luster of the Roof lets say.

Cool
 

Thanks

Good looking is in the EYE of the beholder. All black dash to me is boring. But not for some, thats why they exist.

[QUOTE=cmdrwill;1583801441]To be fair, I was referring to the WHOLE interior and not just the dash. I don't think there's any way you can compare the interior of the C7 to the Audi and come to the conclusion that the C7 is a more high end cockpit. I'm a 'Vette fan to the core, but even I am objective enough to see that.

Everybody do realize that EVERYTHING in the 3LT pack is wrapped in leather, covered with carbon fiber, or is aluminum. The entire dash is leather wrapped, the doorpanels and the center console. The ONLY plastic is by the drink holders and the door pockets at the base of the door.

And lets not forget that these are pre production pictures! I think once we see it in person it is going to be on par with 100k cars.

Hopefully the backup camera will have a wide lens (with a touch of fish-eye feel) like my other cars', so it will let us see the whole back when parking. However, the camera will not help you when you're driving, and that's a but concerning, especially if the side mirrors also get obscured by the sides of the car (which I don't know; yet to see the car in person).

[QUOTE=BMadden;1583801537]Have you seen the C7 3LT interior in person? I have and I stand by my original statement.

Nope, I haven't seen it in person, but I've seen enough pics to tell me that it still doesn't look as good as the interior I posted above. We'll just have to disagree.

I'll agree that your picture is a better photo. I am still waiting on GM to do a photo opt of the interior. So far it has just been people with cameras standing at distance zoomed in. Honestly I don't think the interior is 100% complete.

The link in this thread is designed to give people an ideal of what the interior and exterior will feel like using a 360 view. This should not be used to judge the quality of materials used.

PS I do like the way the CF comes down the center console in your pic. Maybe GM will add this option some time in the future. However the same plastic pieces I see in your picture is the same pieces I see in the C7. Cup holders and bottom of the doors.

Looks pretty good to me:

There's no arguing that it's a big improvement over past 'Vette interiors, but I still don't think it looks as "high end" as what you get in other cars.

:iagree:

Have you seen it in person? Just curious...

Yep!

[QUOTE=mpuzach;1583801575]
I think the C7 dash layout looks really "fussy" and not well organized. But, the appearance and finish I imagine is a vast improvement.

I still think they have too many bean counters or engineers involved in some of the details. It looks like 3 people designed it.

And, I'm sorry, the playstation graphics on the front screen just reek of Dodge Dart, not serious sports car.

I'll buy the car but it's not up to top standards yet. Better, but not best.

I agree ... it looks damned good!

Except, I don't like the steering wheel for some reason. Maybe just the center section shape. Kinda reminds me of the shape of those alien spaceships from the 1953 movie "War of the Worlds" ... The outer part of the wheel is very nice.

Maybe I am losing my mind!

Just a mute point, but I like the metal emblems on the C7 seats a lot better than the embroidered headrest Corvette cross-flags logos on my 2011 GS ... Classy
.

I think the steering wheel could use a leather wrapped center:D
I know the C6 guys had a couple of vendors do complete steering wheels..

That is a render, not a photograph. In the 360 you can see the cheap plastics, and yes, the fake chrome (chrome paint on plastic is not real chrome.); That is real carbon fiber, or carbon overlay, or what? It reminds me of the faux carbon "hydrodip" parts.

I found the plastics in the center console, and around the screen and controls, and the steering wheel to be the worst. I am hoping the main dash looks better in person, because it looks bad in the surround image. Is it wrapped or just plastic?

All that said the seats look fantastic... That said I wonder how bad the base interior will be...

All the silver "metalized" plastic reminds me of my wife's old Altima.

Certainly looks enhanced (lighting, etc.), just like the Audi pic shared, but it's not a rendering.

It is a render, or at best a render overlay.

That's what really stood out to me too and the reason I said it wasn't quite "high end".

For a long time leading up to the release of the C7 they said that they were targeting Audi as the benchmark for the interior and I think when you look at the picture of the RS5 interior I showed on the last page the 'Vette is not on that level even with the 3LT option.

Overall the C7 interior looks like a vast improvement to me, although I never had a real problem with the C6 interior.

There are a couple weak spots with the C7, most of which have been mentioned already:
-The flow is a little strange
-The plastics on the center console and dash don't look that great (I might even spring for the CF dash)
-The volume and screen controls on the radio look like afterthoughts
-The "stingray" steering wheel shape is a bit gimmicky

Still, I'm not terribly impressed with the Audi interior either. I haven't sat in one since 2008 when I was looking at family trucksters (ended with a Volvo V70, which IMO has a very, very nice interior, and much better than the Audi and BMW interiors from that era IMO), so maybe they have improved since then, but the layout is very similar to what I remember sitting in at the time.

I also have a GTI, which is praised for having a nice interior, and for the most part that is true, however there are still many places that feel cheap, look cheap, and were obvious victims of cost cutting or poor testing. So, even the well reviewed cars have their issues.

Anyhow, I think the C7 plastics on the dash and console will be a bit poor. I think the CF dash will be a decent way to go, but I wish it was $300 more and also covered the center console. I think overall the interior will not hold the car back much, as it will be "good enough" to prevent someone interested in the car from choosing something else due to a bad interior.
Looking forward to seeing one in person.

It is not a $100K car and then I would have to drive an Audi
 

Saw the convertable at Geneva, Interior is very nice in person. Even the Guys from other companies were complementing it

Yes that includes People from Porsche and Audi

ok hopefully it will be as you described or similar,
thanks for the reply.

Looks pretty similar to a 2004 Bonneville. Red led's. But they got the driver on the wrong side.

I am not really sure how I feel about the suede wrap around the A and B pillers. Does anyone else think these will just look dirty all the time with dust collecting on them? In addition, fade easily with constant exposure to the sun?
