Default C7 seating

Do you guys think the c7 should have recaro seats standard or as an option? If an option, what should the seats resemble audi, porsche, bmw, etc.

Whatever they use it should be dramatically better than the current seats and should be covered with the highest quality leather in touch and smell.

I'd take alcantara covered seats that have bolstering...

Recaro could be for the guys with the coin...

I just want the base seats to keep my butt planted...


Bolster the sides of the seat cushion and the seat back...at least for the driver..

Make them wide open with the key off and adjustable bolstering when the car is turned on...

Now that would be a cool feature...

The reason most C5 and C6 seats from GM suck is because getting into them with the car being so low GM felt they needed to be flat to allow the driver to slide in..

My suggestion stands...have a motor pump those bolsterings when the motor starts up...

Recaro for the label boys..I just want some bolstering..

No cost option between bolstered seats and flat seats so the fat guys and old guys can order the seats that allow them to get in or the hard drivers can order a seat that holds them in place. Having no cost incentive to go either way would allow plenry of both to hit dealer lots and allow people from both camps to test drive a car with seats they're comfortable with. Recaros would be a cool option but should cost extra so everybody doesn't eat the price increase for seats they may or may not like.

Whatever leather they use to cover the seats in the Buick Enclave would be great in the Vette. Anyone ever sat in one of those? Dang, they are comfortable.
