So the steering wheel in the latest spy / street shot is clearly flat on top...since we can't see the top of the steering wheel in the carscoops.com photos, is it flat top and bottom like the Ferrari? Blech. Not a fan of that bit, but I'm liking everything else big time...

The C7 generation has no Napa leather on any seat. Only touchable locations like the top of the door sides, Dash top surface, Etc. Go back and look at your seats. You will see the consistant stiple surface which is the Mulan bonded overlay. That bonded overlay can hide any leather imperfections, where Napa has no imperfections and is a completely smooth and soft touch surface.

Zerv02, so you still think they will show the car this Monday? Is this interior from spy pics same interior tat you saw and based your sketch from? Looks like its missing the drive mode selector and touch pad?
Go out and look at your seats. If it has a stiple surface, that is Mulan. The info bar on the website says only perforated Napa and not the soft touch solid Napa.

I had the perforated Napa leather in my 3LT...which makes sense when ventilated seats is an option.
Wow, some folks who were total ******** to Zerv appear to be headed toward a massive serving of crow. Somehow I doubt they will be quick to apologize or "self ban" as they keep demanding of him.
I hope that is not just the top of the line model interior, if they pull that off and it doesn't flex, rattle, etc then I will definitely drop the dime for one.
The main problem with Zerv's "take it to the bank" assertion was that the C8 ME would start at $169K. On all the rest and certainly the interior, most have been agnostic, as have I.
If that one thing proves to be the case, I will both apologize to Zerv and lament the imminent demise of the Corvette. GM just doesn't operate that way, and if the Chairman and Board roll the dice and go out on a limb with such a crazy strategy, while tossing a previously successful strategy, they'll soon regret it.
Folks keep citing the example of the Ford GT, but Ford has only done that 3 times over 50+ years for a couple of years at a time, and in that case, we're talking about about 3-4K cars max during each generation run. In short, the GT40 and Ford GT have been in production for 6-7 years total over the last 50 years, and well under 10K have ever been producted. It's been purely a Ford marketing campaign to periodically show what they can do.
