My Saab has the "emergency key" integral to the fob - you press the Saab logo button to release it and pull it out of the center. Beats having that big key floating around in your pocket for "just in case."

My G35 spoiled me in regards to audio controls on the steering wheel...I still try to turn up the volume with my left hand while holding onto the wheel. A better Bose system will be nice too.

Audio controls only on 2lt and 3lt. I was planning on getting the 1LT to save $$$. Come on Chevy why not make it standard. Even Scion's have audio controls on the wheel.

If it's coming at all (it likely is) I suspect it won't be until 2008 or 2009 and will likely incorporated DoD (Displacement on Demand) technology.

I would (and did) only get a 1LT car so fortunately I don't feel like I've missed out by getting an '06 in that one area...the bigger glove box (though I never use mine LOL) and the key inside the FOB deal might've interested me though.
Though I rarely keep my extra key with me anyway so maybe the lighter '05/'06 keyless FOB is better suited to my style.

Power top included with 3LT. Wonder if that raises the price of the 3LT $2000.

I wonder if they're gonna use the bigger Z51 rotors or just use cross drilled F55 size?

Crossed Flag Embroidery

What does crossed flag embroidery mean?? Are they going to have the Corvette flags stiched on the seats? Sounds cool, but if these are the only improvements, I am happy I ordered my 06.

The power top cost will definately be added to the 3lt price. I doubt they would include it for free. No 6.2L?

Is the current Bose system that much of a dog?

Oh Boy

Glad I got my 06 C6 Z51 fully loaded. I am already hitting the climate control running through the gears, glad I dont have a bunch of crap around the steering wheel to fuss with as well.

I am sure the Bose "enhancement" is nothing more than a little more amp.

That is the beauty of this car, it keeps up with each and every year with mods and enhancements for the aftermaket.
