Blind spot mirrors, like on the current Impala. Also, the ability to up or down shift the A/T by bumping the shift lever, like on my NC Miata. That seems more natural to me than the paddles.

I like the PDR as a dash cam option mentioned above, and 525 to 550 NA HP with the same power curve as the present engine. To me that would be the perfect amount of power.

Wow! That's really nice! What a great feature.
Personally, I think turn lane indicators will soon become mandatory equipment on all cars like seat belts and recently back up cameras. I know how to correctly position my side mirrors, however after driving our SUV equipped with turn lane indicators, it's nice seeing that little mirror flash come on when someone is passing you. Yes I know that's a rarity when driving a Corvette, but it's still nice.

Doubt a power bump.. Most likely a new hood and cooling upgrades... Change a few colors ( chevrolet likes toying with gray 😉
. Small cosmetic changes inside and out..

Test
Whatever they do mechanically, Test, Test, and Test again under all driving and track conditions before releasing it to the general public. And if its not ready for prime time say so and don't release it.
i.e. the transmission disasters like overheating and the A8 debacle. While neither impacted me, I'm tired of people asking me why GM didn't get them right on their halo car....
Seriously....

Personally, I loathe the notion of lane departure warnings, auto wipers and lights. I like to drive and control these things; I'm honestly surprised, almost daily, with how thoughtful the car is designed. Nothing superfluous, nothing deficient.
I'm far more interested in the interior amenities. Why does the Camaro have a heated steering wheel and a newer generation mylink? I would want better or more custom possibilities with data layout. Using my DIC
to have to find basic information because i'm in the wrong mode for that information is cumbersome.
Also, put some DIC goodness in the mylink display. No gay jokes intended.
I want more interior and infotainment refinements; I think it's crazy that 3LT is 3 thousand more dollars after you add the PDR/nav to 2LT. 3LT should have more luxuries, nothing major, just some nice enhancements, such as default carbon dash perhaps.

Let's see: Adaptive cruise control, auto brakes, lane change warning. With the huge amount of blind spots, lane change warning would enhance safety. Personally not sure about auto brakes. I would really like adaptive cruise control, I saw a demo where the system was programmed to follow a car within feet from his bumper (guess auto brakes would be an asset during this maneuver). More/better color choices. Just a few things that come to mind.

I went on a plant tour yesterday. The paint on the cars had a lot of visible orange peel, especially the red and blacks. I mean you could really see it under the lights they use on the assembly line. It was totally unacceptable to me. I decided then and there I would not get a 2017. The new paint plant will come on line late summer 2018. This will be a huge improvement (hopefully) over what I saw yesterday. Other "significant" changes were hinted at for 2018 but I will not go down the speculation and rumor mill hole on this forum.

Stock up on the Mobile 1, the A4 loves to drink the stuff. IDK how they can pass emissions drinking a quart every couple of weeks.
I like the PDR as a dash cam option mentioned above, and 525 to 550 NA HP with the same power curve as the present engine. To me that would be the perfect amount of power.

When I was selling, I took a car out. It was used and a different make in which I can't remember but it was equipped with the emergency braking. Well I was driving and there was a road that curved to the left and a barrier that was just sitting in the dirt. Well the car sensed that and locked the brakes on me out of nowhere, SCARED the **** out of me. Def needs more work

we just got this for the wife. The car is awesome, but very weird to have the engine shut down at every stop light and in traffic. I turn off that feature whenever i drive it.

How about:
A bullet-proof reliable auto transmission.
Consistently good paint jobs.
Anything in addition to those is gravy.

I'd like to see one minor change...turn signal indicators in the HUD. Not sure why the dropped it from the C6, but it's the ONLY thing I really miss.
