Do you really need all that refinement in a Corvette? It certainly is very impressive, and no doubt belongs in a Caddy, after all a Caddy always represented luxury, peformance, and conviences. A Corvette has become so refined during that past 25 years, each time you loose a little more of the "premative" nature of the Corvette that separated it from Luxury cars.
I remember David Hill totally against putting ANY remote switches on the Corvette steering wheel, as he believed it took away from the Corvette driving experience....
Technology certainly has its place in the new Corvette, but personally I think this is a bit overkill for a Corvette. If I want CUE, I will buy a Caddy, with the C7 I want Corvette. If its a must have, offer this as an option, satisfy both the techi crowd and the performance crowd.
Impressive, but necessary in a Corvette?

Besides a Corvette is a higher line and priced car than Cadillacs and it needs to have the most cutting edge and highest quality of any GM car out there.

YES 100%. Look at the calender, it's 2012. Times have changed and so has competition and markets. This is not the 60's & 70's when sports cars are all about the bare essentials.

Completely agree, I want performance, a bad *** looking exterior as well as a refined interior, I'd like a similar user interface as an option if not standard in the next gen Vette.
Corvette performance, style and sex appeal meets Cadillac interior refinement, now there's a recipe for success if I've ever seen one.

The Corvette is a performance car and we all want some refinement. I don't think that many (if any) of us are looking for a luxury car.
One of the reasons I purchased a Corvette was that I loved the performance. There are forum members that just love the overall peformance and you can never have enough horsepower .......
