I will second the blind spot indicators (not that the C7 doesn't have any blind spots). Yes we know about adjusting the mirrors, doesn't hurt to have a back up.

Move the trunk button. I hit it with my knee most of the time when I get out of the car.

Look at what Acura did with their mirrors, problem is solved without the need for complex electronics and bells and whistles. A slight bend in the morror extends coverage... just a beautiful elegant solution, and CHEAP and adds no extra weight.

Why does a car of this price point and so technology advanced not have Audible object warning alarm for cameras? My Jeep has this and so does other lessor cost cars do...

noise is ok for me, its a sports car its expected. or maybe an option for noise canceling for those who want it.
do these have options of adaptive cruise control or auto stop features yet ?
or active bending headlights, i loved those on my volvo r design,

Auto-folding mirrors would be awesome simply because of some of the tiny parking spaces we have around here, as well as garage parking. Don't care about blind spot indicators, noise cancellation, or any other crap like that.

Lesser cars don't have the performance a C7 has. A part of the cost delta is paying for performance. It is not fair to compare features based on price alone.

Yeah, I know some people are opposed to things like blind spot indicators, but the fact is the competitors have them. A Jaguar has them. A Boxster has them. Is Corvette holding out for some "purity" angle?

And until they start using NON-POLICE band radar to do this, I don't want them anywhere near my car. Not in the lane next to me, and certainly not on my car where they will render my revenue collector detector useless.

Personally, I don't mind the blinking red arrow (Mercedes style) on the mirrors, but I do not really like the sensors on the front and rear of my bumper. I think front camera and rear camera is sufficient and having the little circles would take away from the look.

How about a much more comfortable seat? I had a 2008 Z06 and a 2013 427 and the seat was WAY more comfortable than my '16 Z51. I know that the critics used to complain about the seats in the C6 and they were correct to a point - the C6 seats were not great at holding you in place on the track.
That said, the C7 seats can be so uncomfortable for many people in everyday driving (which I would venture to say is about 95% of the driving done in all C7s). I am 5'11" and 205 lbs and I cannot get comfortable in my C7...it is the only thing about the car that I don't like...yet it is so important to being able to enjoy the car!
It would be so much better if the seat came with an adjustment mechanism to widen the bottom bolsters like they have for the upper side bolsters...just my $0.02. BTW I have the regular GT seats.

I would add a door close assist like on some Lexus models, similar to the trunk lid close assist already on the C7.

More likely just a simple oversight. Just like the lack of an aesthetically pleasing front plate holder.
