I hope it's going to be missing a shift lock key.

I don't think we'll know for 2 or 3 more months.

Could be the more better interior that many here have pined for.

I can hear it now - "I can't believe they want $xxx for an all leather interior !!! Lexus throws it in for free !!!"

There will be no mention of the 50 -100 HP that Chevrolet throws in "for free" as compared to the Lexus.

The '08 4LT could end up being the same as the '07 3LT. They could just be giving us more combinations of existing options to give us a better chance to get some of the options we want without having to buy more than we really wanted.

But really, there's no way to really know until we get some official word on what the 4LT is really going to include. Nothing but guesses so far, including mine.

Exactly. At the very least, I assume this will be the addition of more grades or steps on the way to a fully-loaded vette. Otherwise they wouldn't have added an additional tier.

Given the level of effort and attention that refining things under the hood would bring to a vehicle, there could also be some significant changes elsewhere -- moreso than we saw last year, that is. It wouldn't be entirely outlandish to expect there to be some minor cues that "this is not the same vette you read about a few years ago."

Of course, short of a C7 release I wouldn't expect a different vehicle -- although, I would expect some minor-to-moderate upgrades and refinements to the existing one.

I don't know, but I have some thoughts on it....

> Could be just adding things like Navigation and Chrome wheels to give you a truly loaded car with possible pricing advantage compared to ordering them separately

> Could be some new options such as an upgraded Stereo

> Could be a limited edition model with special interior / exterior color

At this point its all a guess. I personally would love to see a 5.1 surround sound stereo - and it is already available in other GM vehicles, so I think eventually GM will have to offer it in the Vette (along with Bluetooth!!!)

Content info has not been announced yet. The Z06 gets a 3LZ option package so it appears there will be a "higher content" package on the way. Hopefully Bluetooth and MP3 player interface are included.

Also as far as the two new interior trims with the word "wrap" listed, I wouldn't be surprised if Chevy doesn't dress up the interior like Cadillac did in some of their 07's with leather trim on the dash, consol and door panels. But be prepared to pay for it. Our beloved "affordable" supercar will start approaching Porsche pricing with all these luxury features. I can see vert prices exceeding $70K optioned out this way.
I predict discounts on 07's will exceed $12K once the new and improved 08 is announced. So with the traditional annual price increase and new content I can see a price difference between a fully dressed 07 and 08 approaching $15K or more.

And I hate to think what's going to happen to the value of used 05/06/07's. I'm guessing the bottom will drop out. Trading up from a one, two or three year old C6 to buy the 08 will be very costly for the folks that must have the latest and newest. Keeping up with the Jones' will be expensive.

That LS3 better produce more than a .1 or .2 second improvement in performance.
