Each to his/her own... tastes vary. The interior of the C7 just doesn't do much for me... from steering wheel surround (trim) to the dash controls.

looks similar to my Mitsubishi Outlander steering wheel. The Corvette team still hasn’t gotten the wheel right.

Maybe the C-8 steering wheel will be the best yet.

The best looking steering wheels I've seen have been done by Caravaggio Corvettes.

He has a web site and a shop in suburban Toronto.

This will be my next steering wheel minus the carbon fiber, just black leather with orange stitching.

I wonder if a C7 wheel can be swapped onto a C6? I do like the new wheel. Not a fan of the cobalt tiller. Likely a bean counter decision.

This one has my vote, minus the Jake an orange Z. Would have preferred OEM badge in the center.
