definitely agreed.. i think this would be a pretty popular option actually...
there are plenty of people that use Camaros as daily drivers in cooler climates.. i see a ton of them driving through the snow in the winter here in Chicago, and mine is one of them.. heated seats should definitely be an option

If you want a Cadillac, but a Caddilac.
Methinks people are hoping for a champaign sports car, on a beer budget.
I'll take a solid, well priced sports car with a strong and durable drivetrain and non-clanky doors.. less squeaks and overall solid construction.
What people like all of you will give us, is a 35K hunk of garbage. Slap on a bunch of gimmicks, and keep the price competitive and drop the quality of everything even more than the cheap sports car that its supposed to be would've been otherwise.
Vettes are available, so are Buicks and Cadillacs. No one wants to actually pay for those to get a well built car with those options.
I want a STRIPPED DOWN Corvette. Not a ****ty, clunky corvette for 15K less.

i have heated seats in my blazer and i use them all the time. since my ac is broken cooled seats would be real nice to have, but if i can only have heat i'll take that. if there is no option for heated or cooled i would buy an after market kit to install it.

Mustangs caught a lot of flak over not having heated seats....and they are now available as an option. Do you think GM is NOT going to match the competition on this option? I doubt it very much....
But I would also like to see cooled seats as an option....it gets awful sweaty to have your butt wrapped in foam rubber 3 inches thick. In the "old" days we did'nt have that much insulation under the fabric and your butt did'nt get as hot as in todays cars.
I'd like to see GM be innovative with these cars, and make a model for every taste. Have models for every taste with option packages....luxury, performance and daily drivers. Thats how a manufacturer can reach their goal of selling large numbers of a vehicle and make a profit on it.......

why you guys hate on the heated seats. arguing buy a luxo car? Within the next few years, heated seats will be standard on most cars as its not exclusive to the luxo market anymore. They are easy and cheap to add to a car.
I added heaters to my TA seats that I had custom made for my car. And i love them. Put them on LOW and even on a normal temp day ~78* it is soothing, and can make idiot drivers not tick me off so much.
Also, people saying its stupid for cooled (AC. not vent air) seats, come to CA in the middle of the summer. Air Conditioned seats FTW!!!!!!!!

IMO any car with leather seating should have heated/cooled seats standard. They're freezing in winter and scorching in summer.

Ahhh, just give me some aluminum buckets and 5 points...
I don't know...I think I'll leave the leather and heated/cooled seats to my Buick.
I do hope for a nice breathable material, the "feels" as good as it looks..
(With some color for crying out loud....)
