Gotta disagree with you on that. I'd much rather have factory navigation vs. aftermarket and day of the week. Yeah, I know it's overpriced and obsolete the day after you buy it. It's also integrated with the HUD, doesn't have any exposed wires dangling, and doesn't have to be plugged into the lighter and then hidden from sight to prevent theft every time I leave the car.

Ever hear of an I-phone/smart phone?

Not interested in linking a phone, or trying to hide some wires or something. Just not my taste, irrespective of how outdated a factory system is the year after you buy it.

So what is the difference in the seat leather between 2LT and 3LT. I know that 3LT is Napa leather but what exactly is the difference in feel, fit and finish when it comes to the seats?
I just ordered a 2LT Z51 with Kalahari. Unfortunately, I have not been able to compare the 2LT vs the 3LT first hand. Personally, I could care less about the leather dash. Will the leather on the seats be a let down of sorts? My 09 C6 Z06 was a 1LT which I was fairly happy with.

Regarding the nav.... functionally no one can compete against Garmin. But each to their own.
On the 3LT when I ordered I got the 2LT just not worth the money. I checked with an upholstery shop and for very little money he was going to pull the dash and make it red to match the seats. When I got the car with the red accents in the seams.. I decided that worked good enough.
But if you really wanted to customize your car, make it yours on the interior get a 1lt or 2 lt save all that money and make it yours.

I was wondering the same thing. I tested the 2LT and ordered the 3LT for the additional red on the dash. Anyone have experience with both?

Will Napa Leather laster any longer? One of the first things that typically looks old on a car is the leather. The finish on the leather will start cracking and sometimes the leather wears through and tears. It probably isn't an issue if you trade in your car every 5 years, but if you keep it 10 years or more, I think it can be an issue.
