Good to hear you can feel the improved interior so quickly. I never had a problem with the interior of the corvette yet I can appreciate the improvements.

I've ridden through Houston on a bike trip recently, beautiful city. I had no idea that there was over 6 million people in the area.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_North_AmericaConsidering the number of corvettes sold there (proportionately), they must have something else planned in the near future.

Got to sit in one today at a local car show. Your comments of amazing and they nailed it, are right on. I'm 6'1, 200+ lbs. and it fit like a glove, not cramped or tight just perfect. Narrower than my C5 and very close to the C6s I've driven, but everything falls right to your hand, the shifter is right there and easy reach to all the controls on the dash. This interior is a 10.
