I couldn't agree more about the steering wheel! about as boring as it gets.

I don't like aluminum panels, fake carbon fiber, etc. In fact, I like the C5 better than the C6. Am I the only one?

I like many of the interior mods I've seen. Personally like much of it stock save for a handful of items. The steering wheel, the HVAC controls and the radio. I'd love to see some mod where a person has completely reworked the center console area where the HVAC and radio are. Maybe even see some steering wheel options. I'm a big blackout fan, so I'm OK with much of that, but why couldn't GM have spruced up some of the controls for its flagship vehicle? The guages look good, but man, standard radio and HVAC... what were they thinking?

Thanks for all the posts, now I just need to dig into my buget and I'm looking to switch my DD right now so that's gonna take its tole on the pocket book. I'm looking at the Lexus GS430. Nice car to drive to work every day. I prefer to keep my vette clean and date ready for the wife and I
