Default New Vette
The new Vette (due in the show rooms this fall) came out at the Detroit Auto Show last night. There is lots of still pictures/writeups on the Internet already but here is a video that goes into great detail. Here's the link. The Vette interview begins at about the 12:00 mark and lasts about 7 minutes.

I detailed a 72 Vette last week. What a dog, hated it. Drove like a truck and no cup holders or power steering.

In '72, *no* cars had cup holders and not many (sportscars) had power steering. But I'll bet it had a cigarette lighter. :-D
