We all know the C7 is one terrific car. I have not read a bad review yet.

So lets think about why.

Of course the mechanical parts are great. And since many parts
interchange with other GM cars, they are not Porsche-like expensive.

But the real feature of the C7 is the integration of mechanical and the computer system. The C7 is the most perfected electronic car!

This needs a big company like GM who makes millions of cars. It requires
a lot of research to figure out how and what the computers can modify. It
requires a lot of special algorithms which take time and money to
develop. You can bet that the fundamental computer program is used in
all GM cars.

Stuff like the economy 4 cylinder mode cannot be done without a
computer program. I know it requires direct injection and that all steel
lower vibration torque tube; but the computer makes it work.

Consider the new electronic differential. Takes a lot of development. But
I think in the end, it is cheaper to make a unit with some inexpensive
sensors and actuators than it is to make a lot heavy steel pieces and
clutches as in mechanical limited slip units.

I am waiting for a system to actively alter suspension angles. When is
this coming?
