The talk of
more exotic materials worries me just a bit. I
really hope the C7 isn't priced out of reach of former C6 buyers....

There are a few things about the Stingray concept that cannot be done....roofline is WAY too low for driveability...even by Corvette standards, and the split rear window has to go; driving hazard. There's no trunk or hatch, and no fuel door.
There are other things that I imaging would have to change, but think Concept to Production headlights for Camaro...that level of change. These things include the cove vent, A-pillar (maybe), headlights, taillights, and tailpipes.
Expect some cues from this car to make it onto the C7. It was a design study for GM designers. They were told "think Corvette" and this was the outcome of their combined thought-process. So to simplify -- that concept is what GM sees when they think "Corvette".
HOWEVER --- FROM ED WELBURN HIMSELF -- that concept WILL NOT be produced as the C7 Corvette. He says the C7 will be "even better". So for critics, there is hope, and for admirers...it's only gonna get better!
For reference...Mr. Welburn also said "it's even better" when asked how the Production Camaro compared to the concept.
