People always bitch and moan and groan about boring black/tan interiors. Chevy puts a bright, colorful, awesome, electric blue interior in the Corvette GS and people bitch it’s too bright and colorful. What?

Also, what’s the addiction to houndstooth? I don’t get it. It looks like something a car salesman in the 70s would wear while trying to sell someone a Pinto.

Have a C7 GS.

I like the blue, is kind of cool looking, much better than all the constant black interiors!

With the stripes, I’d say it works.

That’s a cool color, but I’d rather have a black or light gray interior. It’d make it much easier to sell in the future.

I’m digging the blue. it’s a shame that more of the exterior trim pieces don’t match the colour so it would flow into the cabin better!

That interior is fantastic. People don’t know what they want.

The blue interior is cool, but a little too boy racer for me. The 911R seats are pure class.

That central stripe running from the hood vent to the spoiler would look great in blue I think.

Agreed. Color options are great! There will always be straight black for the more conservative driver.

This is what people have in mind when they say they want an exciting interior.

It’s not the colors that make it boring it’s the execution.

Those GS seats scream APC Racing Seats

If 70s salesman overcoat patten is classy, I don’t wanna be classy.

I think it’s because Chevy skinned an entire colony of Smurfs to make that interior.

But to be serious, an interior can be more interesting without having to go this far. This just seems... tacky.

They can be done pretty nice!

As nice as this looks the GS is not meant to be some mundane sedan. It’s meant to be an all-out sports car. It’s dressed up for athletics, not a classy dinner.

Wacko > Logansteno: Bought a VW?

to me it looks like a 90s civic tuner/ricer interior

That’s not bad. Maybe it’s just every time I think light grey I think of the E36's Dove Grey interior which is just... no.

Kinja'd!!!

Takes the rather nice interior design of the E36 and makes it look like it belongs in a Cavalier with all that grey.

Meatcoma > Logansteno: Bought a VW?

Eh, I like the seats and some of the trim, but the center console seems too much if that’s possible.

I’d agree if the whole thing was blue, but with just the lid and knee pad being blue I think it works.

People would prefer not to live in a factory, but a painting. That doesn’t mean they want to live in a cartoon.

Cartoons are fun. The Corvette is fun. I think Cartoon is fitting in this case.

I would have to see that in person, but it seems like a little much. I like my bright colors on the outside. I also have no beef with “boring” interiors.

They just want something to bitch about. Theyre mad that anybody can go buy a GS. But the only time theyll see a 911R will be in pics or behind armed guards at a C&C event.

kanadanmajava1 > Logansteno: Bought a VW?
03/02/2016 at 11:24

The blue details wouldn’t be so bad but that part that that goes over the dashboard is too much. Any bright colors should stay below dash level.

Perhaps it *is* a cartoon. It could, however, do with a little more metaphorical fine linework in the background and artistic pretension. People like to have excuses for their cartoons if they’re expensive.

I think that the GS is perfection.

do you like older plaid and houndstooth interiors? or just that those are retro and should stay in the past

Love the blue interior

Logansteno: Bought a VW? > jjhats
03/02/2016 at 11:44

Plaid I like, like the GTi seats. Houndstooth just isn't attractive to me though. It's a weird design that needs to stay in the past.

I have this weird fascination where I want to like it but I don’t. I want to like it for the reasons you listed - tired of boring black/gray/tan interiors. My first thought is that the blue is just a little too much, a little too obnoxious, but I don’t think that’s right. Maybe it’s just how it’s applied. I like the swath on the dash, and the arm rests on the doors. I’d have left the center console black. Also, something about the seats doesn’t look right. Maybe it would have been better if they had made the bolsters black and inserts blue? I dunno.

If Bear Byrant is classy I don’t want any part of it.

I think it looks fantastic! Especially the Embossings of the old GS on the headrest!

And if these people knew better they would know that the leather on a dash is an option. If they hate it so much just don't check the box.

I love houndstooth. I just think it’s cool. I like different things.

I also like the blue. Most the complainers will never own a corvette so GM doesn't care what they think.

I like it, although I think it'd be more at home on a hot hatch. GM should bring over the hot Astra and give it this kind of treatment.

No, no, obnoxious was right. I like accent colours but this one’s just too bright. It would be a great colour for some stitching or some stripes on the seats (like BMW does their /// stripe on their seats) but as it is it’s too much.

Snuze: Needs another Swede > DasWauto
03/02/2016 at 15:32

I think obnoxious would be if the whole interior, like the entire seats, the carpet, everything was that color. As it stands I like the color but I think there’s just too much of it.
