Many quality issues with Corvette could be addressed for relatively small amounts of money. However, why should GM make an effort to improve quality when core buyers are happy “as is” and even ridicule those expressing some dissatisfaction? Many of the improvements made in the C6 over the C5 came about because GM wanted to sell more cars in Europe, not because they cared much about North American buyers.
Flame suit on.

Chevy can build a $50k car with lexus like build quality if we forced them to. We all need to insist on better quality, if not GM or any company for that matter, will do as little as necessary to make it better.

Fewer squeaks and rattles
Upgraded interior
25 more hp
Standard cargo divider
Same MSRP as 06

Get rid of Dupont junk orange peel paint!
After 22 years of Bose in Vettes, it is time for something better!
5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. GM wants a world class sports car, then stand behind it!
How about some new colors?
