Every auto, and most domestic seats that look like that are very UNcomfortable for me, I hate having my head pushed forward like my chin on my chest...which is what most of them do...I like to slouch in any chair....

and so adjusted my '72 stock seats for ME, along with everything else....

I maybe need sit in a late shark seat for a while, but in MY position, not theirs....

SIX YEARS?????? What about 16 years including all the C5s. They are just a tad slow in the uptake.

What's worse is you cannot purchase a black car.

Those side bolsters haven't changed. They're still designed for fat people.

If they were to do that, they'd need to include gold chains in the glove box, and a free "Corvette Lifestyle™" button-up shirt that's missing the top two buttons.

Oh yeah, and a lane-departure warning, nitro glycerin pills, and a 70 MPH speed limiter.

Here is the BMW M5 interior. Not much difference in the bolsters.

Redesign of the seats won't do squat if the quality of the leather hasn't changed.

looks like the consensus is the general took an already crappy interior...and added a bunch of bling instead of addressing the already crappy interior.
