Some complain about the steering wheel and GM responds by pulling an existing wheel from the Pontiac or Saturn parts bin. Some will like it and others won't. But, who buys or doesn't buy a Corvette because of a steering wheel? As Abe Lincoln said "you can please some of the people some the time but none of the people all of the time".

They should have been more integral to the body.

Of course, after some time passed the 1963 split-window coupe became a highly desirable collector's item, and all those people who butchered their 1963s were kicking themselves.

(Discussion on the 3 spoke wheel)
yeah... GM also decided that the Z06 needed 2-tone seats and have a fixed roof on the Z06.. turns some of us off.
Personally I like the 4 spoke wheel.
