Have heated seats in my Corvette, but living in AZ, never use them. Have cooled seats in my '11 Grand Cherokee and use them all the time! They were much welcomed traveling through the hot and humid Mid-west a few weeks ago, so not just an Arizona opportunity.
I agree keep heated, but add cooled seats. And disagree there would be that much of a weight disadvantage adding the cooled seats to the Corvette. Come on! The weight difference can't be anymore than bringing a case of beer home from the grocery store. And for track buddies concerned about the weight, don't order the option.
GM, are you listening!? Cool my ****!!

Hell in AZ ALL seats are heated! If they can't put cooled seats in the Vette, at least give us a high quality (think Recaro) cloth seat option to replace the pleather junk. Even IF the GM/Vette leather was high quality it doesn't feel good when you are sweating your a$$ off in the summer.

Wow ,just had this discussion with wifey last weekend. Would not consider a vert. without this option. Even up hear ,90 is 90 and IMO not comfortable with the top down.

If the seats wouldn't be leather, most people wouldn't need heated or cooled options for their azzes and backs. The fascination people have with sitting on cow skin always amazes me, it's so uncomfortable and expensive when compared to other materials, don't know why people insist on having it, to me it's just expensive vinyl that lasts longer...
What there should be is an option for light weight, non-leather, perforated sport seats...

I like the heated seats for those chilly morning crisp drives with the top down... but when it gets hot cooled seats would be perfect. My wife's traverse has them and I laughed at them at first, but now I wanted them on my GS vert for sure!

+1 for me - taking the targa top off for me here in Texas would resort in me potentially dying.........
