Default 2012 1LT owners. Do you have a power passenger seat?

Another quest to figure out what happened when here. Our dear compatriot TLS_Addict insists that his 2012 1LT had a power passenger seat and that he may remember seeing it listed on the window sticker or brochure.

According to GM however, a standard power passenger seat was a new feature for 2013.

Since the last batch of updates came in 2012 (steering wheel, shoulder bolsters, 2LT gets HUD...etc) I wouldn't be surprised if TLS is correct.

Whatcha got?

I wonder if they weren't initially going to offer it when the 2012 was being thought of but then changed their minds and decided 13 was time to let everyone know.

Or are we dealing with a mid year change? We'll have to see if anyone has a manual seat with an early build car I suppose.

According to the Black Book all 2012 models came with power leather seats not just on the drivers side.

I have an early built '12 1LT Coupe (built in July '11)....it has the power passenger seat. I was actually surprised that it did.

My next question will be did the 2012 2LT get the cargo shade standard that is said to be a new standard feature for 13.

It's looking like 2012 was the year everything got upgraded, regardless of 2013 literature.

According to my Black Book, the shade came in the 3LT Group.

I have a 2012 GS 2LT and mine did come with the cargo net and shade. Both items appear on the window sticker.

12 1LT base coupe here; mine has power passenger seat. I don't remember why or where I learned this, but I'm under the impression my car was built in May 2012.

Far from an expert, but why would they make a bunch of changes in a final model year short run? Doesn't seem like it would be monetarily worth it.

When was yours produced. It may have been a late production number and they may have added it due to the fact that they would be part of the 2LT in 2013. But according to the Corvette Black Book, the 2 LT added the Nav radio, bluetooth, Bose, memory package and 1-year XM.
