Regarding the "retro" discussions.. don't care which way they go. As long as they differentiate themselves with the "American Muscle" look and feel. The previous C6 was getting a bit euro. The sharpness and cues on the C7 have bridged back to "muscle"...
Again... wow! With the Z51, why would a ZR1 or Z07 really be necessary for the majority of folks? Home run Chevy. Covered enough bases in ONE model to appeal to 96% of buyers!
I'd sure like to see the new Gen6 Camaro do the same thing.

Saying the quality on the C7 is "perfection" is a bit premature given no one even has one yet. Going overboard like that suggests you aren't being very objective.
My opinion on the C7 (and I know that others will have differing opinions):
- Front looks good.
- Side looks mostly good. The area around the hatch doesn't look great to my eyes but looks OK.
- The rear is a design fail.
- The little Stingray/Guitar logo looks stupid and should go.
- Too many vents (functional on Z51 or not).
- Interior looks like a big step up from the previous generation.
- Power is fine. Not a big bump, but the C6 already had good power.
- Weight went up in the C7 which is a serious fail. The weight increase wasn't huge, but the weight should have come down. This concerns me from a Camaro perspective.
- I havent set in one, but from others that have it looks like the C7 compromised rear visibility which I don't like.
All in all, I think it is a great car except the rear is so ugly.
