I heard from my aunt's boyfriend's good friend who knows someone who works on the assembly line that since GM is cutting medical benefits in the their contracts with UAW employees and retirees, there will be a clause that Vette owners, as well as Hummer and Escalade owners, will have to be available to drive local, identified senior citizens to the doctor's office.
Hell, they may as well go in style, anyway.
A small price to pay.

I'm really glad the C6 didn't get them. I like the clean look of as few buttons as possible.

Mine must be different. On the Grand Cheerokee Limited they are behind the wheel so that you press them towards you as you would normally be gripping the wheel. You don't see them at all, and unless you knew where to feel for them, you may not even know that they are there.
What did yours look like and how did they function?

However, on a vette...I agree with some who say it's a sports car not a lexus and should have no extraneous stuff on steering wheel.

Once you've had them you will miss them hard.

Looking at GM's balance sheet I strongly suspect there won't be any changes that cost GM more money! They need to crank every penny they can out of the cars they're selling right now. Corvettes have to add a pretty penny to their bottom line. As long as C6's are still selling well not much of substance is going to be changed IMHO.....
Lets hope GM is still around in 08 or 09 to make a C7 happen....
