I wonder if the C7 seats would bolt into a 08 C6? I sure like the new seats, it would be great if you could find them in the same or complementing color then just bolt them in, assuming electrically they were the same also.

Do a quick search of this forum. Pretty sure there was a thread not long after the reveal of the C7 that stated the seats wouldn't fit--too wide, as I recall.

Caravaggio posted that the C7 "frames" can fit, so far, but no follow up yet on a complete seat or the electrics/electronics for it.

Of course, these threads contain mostly speculation, but the point about the wiring and airbag interface compatibility is a valid point….whether they physically fit in a C6 or not. Also, the suggestion that you can purchase aftermarket seats that are designed specifically for your car and probably look just as good or better than the stock C7s for less money is also valid.
