If by porsche you mean 911, you expect chevy to give you all the performance at a significantly lower price point (especially when you consider an optioned up 911) to deliver all the refinement and luxury?

Not a fan of the new cloth exterior. Wish they'd go back to the painted plastic panels.

I can't really tell much from those pictures. I'll reserve judgement for a later time. I will say that I really like the C6, so I hope it's not a radical change.

Never said it needed to be at a lower price point. All I want Chevy to do is make the nice stuff available to those who want it. I'm fine if they offer a pos interior as standard, but offer a super nice upgrade for a price.

I see it comes with an optional rear mounted pipe organ.

Kidding aside, the Camaro looks like the hulk next to the 2014 Vette. Love that Chevy moved to downsize the whole car and push the wheels out to the corners. And an upgraded interior is always welcome on a GM product. They are actually doing very nice interiors lately. I have high hopes for the Vette. I wonder if they've altered the driving position for better visibility. I've owned two Vettes and that was my biggest gripe. I always felt like I was laying down in a bath tub. The S2000 just felt so much more comfortable when it came to forward visibility.
