You know how the ’09 wheels are referred to as Gumby’s…I’m dubbing those new seats...Dumbo’s.

Carlisle Blue looks better than I thought. Wish they still had JSB though.
Seats look fine to me too. Not the 2 tone though.

The look is OK, but you've got to sit in one...big difference! Much more comfortable!

I'll admit that when I saw pictures of the ZR1 I was worried. Specifically since I'm not a "blue" car guy which I've said here many times. However, this is a really nice color in person. I can't wait to see the convertible with the blue top!

Default I Likie!

Dave, Thanks for posting the pics. I know Carlisle Blue has taken a hit on this forum but I gotta admit it looks real good on that ZR1. All changes should help with sales as folks accept the fact the car is fantistac in any color or body configuration.
Good Luck with 2012 Sales

Really like the look of the new seats, not so sure of the two-tone though, yellow calipers rock and not hot on Carlisle Blue, maybe it will grow on me when I see some in person

I really like the new steering wheel and painted calipers (except Torch Red). Not a fan of the new two-toned seat treatment, although the ones in the yellow convertible look better than the ones in the blue convertible, but they do look comfortable. I have to admit, Carlisle Blue looks better on the ZR1 than than on a color chart, but I don't think it goes real well with the two-tone gray/black seats in the convertible. Thanks for sharing.

I think the Carlisle Blue at least on a ZR1 looks great, can't wait to see Lance's car in Carlisle. I also like the seats espically the two tone

We ordered some cars to be one ofs so people could get some ideas with the new calipers and some of those should be here tomorrow including a Torch Red, a Blade Silver and a Supersonic Blue all with yellow calipers. They should be here tomorrow and I'll post pictures.

Carlisle blue is too weak a color. Can you imagine a Porsche or Ferrari in that color? Now think of the ZR1 in dark Midnight Blue, or dark Green.
Those colors would definitely bring the car to life!

Why do people feel the need to quote a dozen pics?
Personally I think the top of the seats need to be Ebony, they really do look like **** in the two tone.
All the chrome bling on the steering wheel negates the positive changes made.. but hey thats just my opinion.... which counts for squat

I'm a little confused on the seats. Is this seat design the same on the 1LT, 2LT, & 3LT or is the 1LT the older style seat? I assume the 1LT still only comes in plain black without the crossed flags.

Love the new blue! Great alternative to "silver" which is way too boring.

Love the new seats. I prefer the black ones over the two-tone. If the tops of the seats were black on the two tone I'd prefer that. All in all, great upgrade to the interior, although the new steering wheel I could care less about.... GM!

The 1LT seat is the same shape but only available in black with no flags and no perforated seating service. Here's a picture:
