Cool Jay Leno Garage: Corvette Stingray first look by Leno

The C7 Corvette debuts on Jay Leno Garage:

Some misinformation in there, but still the car sounds good and digital gauges are cool.

Props on the retracting NAV screen.

This car makes me yearn for a Ford competitor

The dark side doesn't seem that bad.

The C7 has a few negatives for my taste.

Push button start, push button e-brake, digital gauges. My wife's Explorer is like that and I am not particularly fond of it. It seems the last true remaining resemblance to the old muscle cars is the present generation Mustang, so we shall soon see whether Ford applies the trend on the upcoming Mustang. My guess is it will.

On to the future, I guess.

Me too. There'll be a lot more digital stuff to be sure

I do like the digital stuff since I'm younger

Is the glass half empty or half full?

. . .

Rather than old age and disappearance of good looks you ARE implying I am wise and distinguished... RIGHT?

On to the future!

I'm warming to it......I love the front end, but the rear is still too Camaro-like for me. I'd like to see them side by side.

The interior is nice and the sliding NAV screen is a cool feature......but there are still some nasty looking switches and buttons dotted around the steering column.......almost a scatter gun approach
